    I once thought a service like YouTube would bypass the stupid censorship rules of even basic cable TV (which are looser than broadcast TV in the US). Oh how wrong I was.

      Cable doesn’t have rules, other than each corporate entity’s own practices of what they’re willing to publish/broadcast. Part of it is appeasing advertisers, and some of it is them wanting to gain market share, but it’s all business reasons. And those same business reasons apply to websites and podcasts.
