To be fair information is a weapon and there should be no free reign for anyone. If you are on purpose suppressing some information to fulfil political agenda - that should be a criminal act.

Ok, but what about the opposite: What if you are, on purpose, constantly disseminating false information to fulfill a political agenda?

So what's a political agenda?

Is the promotion of cats a political agenda? Can allcats.com take down videos of dogs?

Sure. Why shouldn't a private entity be able to determine what kind of speech they allow on their own property?

Because if they have a huge defacto monopoly, and also a outsized impact on our culture, the impacts of them doing so are far more far-reaching than, say, LiveLeak removing some video (trying to think of a competitor for YT is surprisingly hard).
