That ship sailed years ago when Youtube started removing videos of the Syrian civil war [1]. Many of these videos were intended as propaganda for rebel/terrorist groups. They were also useful because the combat footage they contained could be analyzed independently to get casualty counts and locations of fighting. I would personally have preferred that they stayed available, even if they might have worked as propaganda on some people. But Youtube made a decision and stuck to it. Removing this terrorist's video is just applying a standing policy to remove reported terrorist videos. [1] For all I know the policy started even earlier, but I followed the SCW closely for several years and I noticed a big change in video availability over time.
