Probably? Is there an actual question about YouTube’s authority to order imprisonment? Because it seems to me that should be a bigger story than them cutting off comments on videos with kids in them.

Obviously, YouTube can't imprison anyone.

What I am saying "probably" is about what they could do to initiate an investigation on someone that might lead to imprisonment.
