Google isn't limiting the data flowing through your router. They are limiting content they are willing to store on their servers. Those two are worlds apart and Google can do whatever they choose within the boundaries defined by their terms of service.

But that distinction makes Google no longer a DMCA safe harbor. Once you start censoring content not actively illegal, you are now liable for any copyright infringement on your site.

The condition for safe harbor is not knowing that the content is infringing, not that you censor your content or not. YouTube has always censored content (e.g. porn).
