Oh come on, YouTube isn't banning content "showing users how to bypass secure computer systems or steal user credentials and personal data" because it somehow offends their moral sensibilities. They're doing it because they know that if there was a major hack and whoever did it learned from YouTube videos, there would be widespread outrage. The headlines would be "YouTube teaches hackers how to steal your private data", and there would be calls for more regulation on what YouTube can and cannot do, which is something that they probably want to avoid at all costs. So we end up with rules like these. You and I might disagree with them, but they come about because it's what we (collectively as a society) have demanded.
