The problem is that YouTube is so large, and while it is not governmental it is one of the few video sharing platforms that people remotely care about. Coming in behind is places like vimeo. Then super far behind are various smaller video sites (such as ones that use PeerTube). While presenting misinformation is a political act, it is a more 'neutral' political act. In that, since many people are able to put forward content, that doesn't stop ideas from either side. Yes, that doesn't mean that truth will automatically come from that mix, but it allows for the potential of truth to be found. When you have a massive company controlling so much of content, it has a large amount of ability to influence the people using the platform. As well, I think banning misinformation is a legitimate slippery slope. It increases people's willingness to have other's censored for their incorrect beliefs, which once you have gotten far enough will be the new normal.
