It's not that simple. I am involved in a couple anti-racist groups, and people are having their posts "mysteriously disappear" or getting automatic warning messages or account locks for making posts that use the term "white".

This could be trying to target white supremacists but it's catching a lot of anti-racist people discussing the topic as well. Censorship always has a downside to it. On Youtube it's gotten even worse, they might as well completely eliminate any form of financial model to run the place because if you say or do anything on Youtube that makes anyone uncomfortable to any degree for any reason, you're demonetized. People are switching to Patreon but even then, both sides are trying to get opposing sides removed from that platform with boycott and email campaigns.

It's all getting very petty.
