Do you really think there's someone at YouTube with the goal of increasing censorship for the sake of it, and looking for catastrophes to capitalize on? (Have you ever known anyone in your life that has "censorship" as a hobby, specifically as a terminal end-goal not in service of something else?)
Or do you think that maybe the people working at YouTube might be worried about this specific issue -- that their platform could amplify dangerous misinformation about the pandemic -- and they want to reduce the harm they're participating in on this specific issue? (Have you ever known anyone in your life that learned that something they were doing had a bad effect on someone else, and then got worried about that and changed their behavior?)
If people at YouTube really liked censorship for the sake of censorship, they would just dive straight into it, or would have done it from the start.
