If you want to know the root of all this censorship it is (drumroll): Advertisers.

If you recall back before all this censorship started, there were all these articles about companies getting mad about their advertisements showing up on controversial videos on YouTube.

Actually I remember Rod Serling doing an interview about censorship. And he made the same point back in the 60s. It wasn't the TV station or the government demanding censorship, it was the advertisers. Coca-Cola didn't want their product to show up after a scene of interracial dating, etc/
