If a video on YouTube constitutes YouTube's speech then does that mean if somebody posts a video containing something illegal YouTube should be held responsible?

It's not the video that YouTube creates; it's the metadata of recommendations, classification, and advertising association.

PragerU attempted to argue YouTube infringed PragerU's freedom by arranging that metadata in a way PragerU didn't like.

If I lend you my megaphone, should I be held responsible if you use it to say something illegal?
