There are two WordPress entities. WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
The former is a privately held hosting site started and run by former WordPress founders and could easily have strict censorship rules in place. That is the benefit of owning the hosting site.
WordPress.org is a freeware publicly supported software organization.
They do not censor, they do not endorse censorship and as far as I can tell only want to make sure the tools are in place to prevent spam. If you are having trouble posting a video, you should call me or the kid to come and help. THAT is probably a ‘feature’ of the editor and easily resolved. All editors are moving toward copy source inserts which use tremendously less site storage and thus hold costs down. We don’t care about that right now, but I assure you many sites want to forbid any form of storage because they are paying thru the nose to host it.
The WordPress blacklist is nothing but a filter system put into place to help site owners prevent the SITE from becoming blacklisted. All major search engines use a blacklist and filter out sites known for having spam problems. Once you get on one of those it takes real effort and lots of money to get off of it. Thus, the blacklist. It does NOT censure. It takes your post and puts it into a (nonexistent on JPR 3.0) moderating queue. You get moderated at the source and if necessary they then ban you or suspend your posting privileges or whatever in an attempt to stop spam that gets them in serious trouble.
We are working on it. This appears to be a major ‘upgrade feature’ with WP v5.0.0 and up.
