Yes, they are private and can do what they want... and we can judge them harshly for it.

What’s legal and what’s moral aren’t the same thing.

Fully agreed.

I think that YouTube is in absolute legal right to ban whatever content they want, and I wouldn't want that legal right taken away from them (or any other content platform).

However, I absolutely disagree with this specific ban on their end, and it deserves to be criticized. But, again, they shouldn't be legally restricted from making this decision, no matter how poor I believe the decision is.

They make their own law on their platform which is 1000x times more scarier knowing that is a monopoly in content sharing
