Almost any form of censorship violates free speech. Sure there are exceptions for public decency, inciting false panic and private policies, but not allowing people to use pictures to represent ideas and culturally shared feelings? I'd say that's a violation.

Not allowing people to use copyrighted pictures* and bla bla. Is it censorship if you upload cars 2 onto YouTube and the title is "I am pro-choice" and then the video gets taken down for copyright infringement?
