This is a privately owned forum.

We could simply not allow any links or videos.

That wouldn’t be censorship. An analogous situation would be if the rapper tried to require me to have his music in my home.

That, in my opinion, would be a detriment to discussion.

It certainly would and is why there are no plans for that to happen.  However, links that run afoul of the rules will be removed.
