If Youtube is a public carrier, like the phone co., then it is not liable for content.
If it is a private business, and claims it censors hate speech, then it can be held liable for content (defamation, etc.)
Which way does Youtube want it?

They want it both ways so they can stamp out all dissident speech.

Anything homophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, or racist will be banned. IF you engage in such speech, then you’ll be cut off from the internet and the global economy.

They’re going to turn the internet into the new cable TV where all you see is approved messaging by the leftist elites in Washington, San Francisco, and Wall Street.

Google buys the law. It can do what the f*** it wants until something breaks.

It can censor *AND* not be held accountable. It can have it's cake and eat it too!

Both ways.

They want to be not liable for content while censoring so-called “hate speech”, which is speech they disagree with politically.
