Don't use Odyssey. Use it's backend LBRY directly to avoid censorship.

Library (LBRY) is the SOFTWARE back end to all websites like odyssey. Library is a pure peer-to-peer serving platform software package much like bittorrent. Absolutely nothing on it is actually censored. However it allows someone who builds a website on top of it which the software makes easy to do the ability to do some censorship so your website won't get taken down. Thus Odyssey uses library to completely build their website and chooses to censor certain things which I think are identified by people tagging those items themselves. Thus Odyssey is a front end to library and thus Odyssey the website will censor some things. There are many websites that use the library software package. However since all websites need an IP address to operate they are subject to censorship themselves by the IP address providers and website hosters if they don't do some censorship to conform to local law customs and censorship authorities. but you can download library and run it directly on your own computer. In that case you're searching the whole system yourself from your computer and you're not going through any website. When you do that you're going to be exposed to everything that everybody has ever uploaded to library without any censorship. So stop using library through websites like Odyssey and instead use library directly on your own computer.
