In a sense, if people don't stop bullshit, no one will stop it for them. The state can't and shouldn't (ideally) stop YouTube from removing what they don't want

In a sense, if people don't stop bullshit, no one will stop it for them. The state can't and shouldn't (ideally) stop YouTube from removing what they don't want to host, but people should hold YouTube accountable. If people don't stop using YouTube to make a point to them that their arbitrary decisions are not ok with them, nothing will really stop them. With that being said, I'm always hopeful that people will eventually see that forcefully removing something from the conversation (aka banning it, like banning doctors talking their successful experiences with hydroxychloroquine very early because some kids at youtube believe that a political org like WHO is more credible than actual experienced doctors) won't eliminate it, it'll just make it grow in the shadows, allowing other scammers to make use of the situation. And the cycle continues.
