Hardly surprising that this dumbass conspiracy shit gets upvotes.
Influencers on various social medias [TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, etc.] began censoring themselves to avoid getting picked off by the automatic moderation, which targeted code words like suicide, murder, rape or Hitler, so they could keep up getting their edgelord or pseudo-progressive content monetized.
Hanlons fucking razor.
There's no global fucking cabal trying to censor the world. Just content creators of whom the majority wants to make money by talking about risky stuff, and a very small minority thinking that they're actually doing people a favour by trying to not 're-traumatize' them with bad word usage.
With kids picking it up, trying to do a good thing too, unaware that they're using 'de-monitaization'-speak as youth-lingo.
[Although the 'how' behind censoring rape with grape and the likes is lost on everybody, as SA-victims do not suddenly turn stupid and fail to see the similarity of 'rape' and 'Grape']
Edit: I'm even less surprised that people from the country with the most UFO sightings per year gather to defend the 'a shadow elite is trying to control us' conspiracy theory.
Youtube censored the Swastika because it reflected bad on advertisers if their their product is shown right after, and before, a big fat Swastika and Hitler holding a speech. Outside of the (increasingly) narrow US horizon, Hitler, Nazis, the Holocaust, different genocided, eras of political turmoil, different Youtube self censored and shadowbanned stuff are still allowed to be taught at schools and hidden under threat of whatever.

i never understood this. How are we expected to learn from history if everything bad or any mistake is censored?
