So YouTube doesn't have a right to decide what is on its platform? I mean they are compelled by law to delete unlawful content and have to make efforts to comply with the DMCA, but we are talking about things that are neither unlawful nor copyrighted. I could see a number of reasons why a content provider would want to remove a particular type of content from their site, like the consumers of that content are bad for business. You don't have any right to continue to use these services, why should you have a right to continue to have your content hosted with them?

Sure, they can do whatever they want. Though I suppose you could make the argument that other businesses can't deny service to anyone they want, so why should youtube? But ignoring that, I'm merely stating what I think they should do, not what they can do.
