Participation in any community demands some level of censorship or else there would literally be CP on youtube. The problem is that the decision making behind the administration of censorship should be better democratized instead of being decided by advertiser's attempting to divine the median consumer's level of tolerance.

I agree, I was overly broad with this comment. But I think that even community management needs to be constrained from interfering with human expression when there is no harm being done. And non-sexual nudity is clearly not harmful.

Well said. It's impossible to be a free speech absolutist without condoning some pretty heinous forms of human expression. But you're right that the proper ethical yardstick is whether any meaningful human expression causes demonstrable harm.

Non-sexual nudity is definitely not harmful.
