Before I start, I'm NOT trying to get you to subscribe to either PewDiePie or T-Series, I'm just pointing out an issue that can signal a dark future for free speech and independent creators.PewDiePie's diss-tracks "Bitch Lasanga" and "Congratulations" have both been blocked in India. The reason for this is because T-Series took it to the courts for defamation. The Delhi High Court ruled in favor of T-Series, causing YouTube to block the videos in India.While "Congratulations" has some controversial topics in it, it is still a joke and not seriously accusing T-Series or any of their employees of anything. The problem lies in the fact that YouTube is willing to let large companies block independent creators' videos for whatever reason they want.Free speech is still a thing, and imagine if this happened to a smaller creator that was less known. If they called out a company for something, or even made jokes about the company, the company in question would possibly be able to get those videos removed, or in the worst case the user banned. We need to keep free speech on YouTube, even if that means sacificing some advertising money because of them leaving.All I ask is for you to spread the word and get the videos back up, as they were taken down due to a company wanting them to be, not because they broke any rule. via /r/youtube
