I would argue that YouTube is behaving _more american_, in that they're a private business that's doing whatever they want within their rights (taking down content they deem inappropriate).
The government isn't censoring YouTube. Any Trump supporter that believes that YouTube is over-moderating is free to create their own website from which they can spawn whatever garbage content they want.
Spoiler, though: They won't. It turns out the only reason most nutjobs on Facebook/YouTube/Reddit amounted to anything at all is because they were given a free megaphone and millions of listeners. I'm not sure why private businesses have to allow such behavior?
Until slander and libel get enforced on social media sites, which would solve most of these problems anyway (I think), why does anyone think these websites _have to_ cater to every single subculture? If I were at the helm of any reasonably sized social media company I certainly would not want my site attached with fascist propaganda.
