YouTube didn't introduce content moderation (apart from copyright, and flat out illegal material) because daddy government told them to. They introduced moderation because companies threatened to pull advertising because they didn't want their brands plastered next to awful content. YouTube totally has the right to leave plenty of dangerous or morally repugnant content up. But they don't have the right to other companies' advertising money if said companies jump ship.
