YouTube is a private company, and yes it can choose who it wants on its platform.
On the other hand of the argument. When do we determine that a company's platform has become so big, that it is a public space and it should just "maintain" the platform and make it as inclusive as possible? For example, we had Alexandra Ocasio Cortez blocking people on twitter, and it is a private platform that a public figure is using, however it was deemed illegal, I'm not sure if it is the same thing that happened with Trump and a few others.
I'm not an US citizen, and I don't live in there, however it's so important to see people's views, no matter how stupid or ridiculous it can be. I want to be able to make up my own mind, some views may be terrible and we should be able to hear them. Be curious in pursuing these things.
David Icke, from the little I know is crazy, and says some ridiculous things, but he should have be allowed to voice them.

Everyone is free has the right to speak their mind, and they must also understand that they must be accountable for what they say. People who want to cancel others because they have a dissenting thought they want to say are ultimately terrible human beings.
