Youtube doesn't particularly bother me. They aren't a government. If they fail to serve their customers and content providers, people will look elsewhere. Steemit and dtube are now alternatives to social media and video hosting, for example.

Banned Books Week is winding down
Government is legally precluded from doing many things by the Constitution. For this reason governments hire private contractors, such as Gargle, to do them for them.
Such prohibitions as apply to government needs must apply to private parties, or government be precluded from contracting.
On that note, government has no lawful authority to undertake any act any private person does not.
Power, on the other hand, is certainly attained and used by government, and private companies. Just as it is illegal to refuse to rent an apartment to someone because they are a certain race, it should be illegal to refuse to rent an apartment to someone because they are a certain political party member.
Same goes for Youtool channels and videos, IMHO.

And yet, government sidesteps the Constitution regularly anyway, and uses weasel words to justify it. Government operates entirely through claims to authority individuals do not have, and thus cannot rightly delegate to politicians.
"Private contractors" as government proxies are clearly a problem, and corporations are government-established legal fictions with special privileges and immunities, but this is clearly a flaw of government more than anything else.
I would caution against appealing to legality to support a rational argument, too. After all, slavery was "legal" across most of the world until quite recently, and the Underground Railroad was "illegal," for just one obvious example.

Point is well taken. I have long differentiated between what is legal and what is lawful, the former being whatever scribblings are undertaken by shills for our overlords, and the latter being what is actually just.

They may not be government but they are definitely in bed with them as are the banks, Google and a lot of other corporations. A discussion for another day.
