First they came for conspiracy nuts, and I did not speak up because I was not a conspiracy nut. There are several issues with this approach. You have YouTube influencing content. So, can they do that for a political candidate? Other policy debates? They have basic immunity from regulation for being content-neutral. Do they want to give this up and invite regulation like the telcos? As a private company, they are free to change their product as they see fit. But YouTube and other social media have become mass communication devices, so the issue is bigger than that now.

One man's conspiracy nut is another man's foreign operative trying to subvert democracy. Just my opinion, but I think there is a clear line between a politically subversive conspiracy theory (i.e. pizzagate, sandy hook was staged, etc.) and a political commentary I happen to disagree with (i.e. Tucker Carlson). They have a profit motive to attract as many people as they can to their platform, I don't believe they would have an intentional political bias.
