Of course they have the right - nobody has claimed that YouTube is breaking the law by censoring RT.
Nevertheless, they are still engaging in censorship, per Wikipedia:
> Governments and private organizations may engage in censorship. Other groups or institutions may propose and petition for censorship. When an individual such as an author or other creator engages in censorship of his or her own works or speech, it is referred to as self-censorship.

You are doing exactly what I just warned against: trying to redefine words to exempt yourself from criticism.
It's insulting. Nobody has said or implied that YouTube is breaking the law here, so why does your reply hinge on that?
More importantly, why would anyone want such a shameless megalomaniac filtering what they can read and watch? That's the crux of censorship: you're not just refusing to personally host some content - you're demanding everyone else does the same in order to ensure that it's not available at all.
The merits of censoring an enemy propaganda outlet during a war can be debated, but pretending that it isn't censorship at all is equal parts absurd and dangerous.
