Google would destroy "Liberty Leading the People" for depicting violent content if they could.

What's the line here? A scripted video depicting one friend punching another gets taken down, but MMA fights, movie scenes of executions, and Jackass clips stay up?

It's dangerous how much of our culture is in the hands of private companies who can restrict or deny your ability to view that piece of culture. They do so on a whim and you have no recourse.



"Content featuring anything listed above where the viewer is not given enough context to understand that the footage is dramatized or fictional" would be my guess as to the specific stanza of the violent/graphic content service term this video trips over.
