What does AI do to freedom of speech?

I just realised, that YouTube has an AI system which removes comments on my channel, that it deems "potentially inappropriate".

Some clearly illegal comments prove that moderation is necessary — I even found a couple of death threats. But there is A TON of false positives.

Attached are four examples of comments which the AI removed. There are hundreds of these, and it really bothers me, that someone's legal free speech is suppressed by our AI overlords.

The reason why Trump is pandering to Putin is that The Russian dictator has compromising videos of him being peed on by Russian whores in 1987 in an Intourist hotel.

8:54 Thank you for calling out the pussies at the BBC, but I am willing to bet that this was somehow encouraged by the British government and/or Monarchy to maintain positive relationships with the leader of America.

Trump is a goofy old queen. Every time I see him talk, I see an old hag with a bad wig and shitty makeup. Even his decorating style is that of an old woman.
He is a pathetic, old, snowflake queen.
How in the hell does anybody look at him and see a leader?

Once he dies of another stroke, the Republican party won't be able to decide who to make the next top cunt.
