Yhdysvaltalaisen nu metal -yhtyeen, King 810:n musiikkivideo kappaleelle ”Killem All” on poistettu YouTubesta. Kappale on yhtyeen vuonna 2014 julkaistulta albumilta ”Memoirs Of A Murderer”. Video poistettiin sopimattoman sisällön ja vihapuheen vuoksi. Yhtyeen laulaja David Gunn kommentoi asiaa näin:

“Logged into @youtube this morning to this tragedy. Youtube claiming to encourage free speech but removing content they arbitrarily pin as “hate speech.” This is music and artistic expression. The song and video are social commentary. Youtube you would not even exist as a company if they removed all things anyone may consider “hate speech.”

We as a people have made this a very large very rich company. I understand this is a for profit company with a policy and an agenda but its a bit dangerous when giants like Youtube and @google censor information and art only to expose us to cherry picked pieces consistent with their own views. Especially when we rely on them from day to day. This is something people should be aware and concerned about. – @dkgunn”
