Youtubers tribute to 9/11 firefighters censored..your thoughts?

The censors at Google have deemed a tribute to firefighters on 9/11 to be "too controversial" to monetize. YouTube and Google have consistently failed to clarify or consistently apply the "Controversial issues and sensitive events" section of the "Advertiser-friendly content guidelines," creating a standard that irrationally punishes channels that cover history. If you think this decision is as egregious as I do, and realize how difficult Google makes it to register a complaint, then please feel free to address a complaint to Mr Sundar Patchi, the CEO of Google, at sundar@google.com. Please keep your comments respectful, but let him know your opinion.

Youtube regularly demonitorise video's from popular channels that they don't agree with giving the reason that it's a sensitive issue which apparently is just any video that they don't like.

@bookerdana I agree, i wish youtube had an alternative to give them some competition. Even as an end user it's very frustrating.
