YouTube isn't a monopoly, their competition is one click away.
ISP's are often regional monopolies or even if they're not, the switching costs are large and usually involve breaking a 2-year exclusivity agreement.
I do think that YouTube shouldn't be censoring content based on political views, but it's also not at all comparable to an ISP.
