> What critical service does YT provide that it should even be considered for being considered a critical anything? Government announcements, instructional videos by governments (e.g. for voting), educational content for children, etc. Governments should really be banned from putting that kind of stuff on a site like YouTube. That aside, the point on criticality is not really a good one, it is important for any sort of cultural content to be widely accessible and not behind walled gardens.
