M.I.A. Born Free (Uncensored)

While not banned on Youtube per-se it is Age-Restricted with a warning at the beginning (hardcoded)

Yes, the full uncensored version of M.I.A.’s “Born Free” is currently available on YouTube, but:

It is age-restricted.

It includes a content warning before playback.

You must be signed in and of age to view it.

It's not promoted, shown on trending, or embedded freely — this is what’s meant by it being “removed from the YouTube homepage.”

📺 Why the Controversy?
The video, directed by Romain Gavras, depicts:

A fictional genocide of red-haired people.

Graphic military raids, beatings, and an execution-style scene involving a child.

It was meant as a political metaphor for state violence and racial profiling, especially referencing conflicts like those in Sri Lanka and Iraq.
