I think the OP's author makes a pretty good point: the censorship itself doesn't bother him; it's the opaqueness that's a problem. If they just said "this is censored because the CIA requires it", he'd be fine (his own words from the OP)

I can understand the call for censorship, but I don't see any particular value in the opaqueness.

Any censorship is going to be pretty opaque. The author accuses Youtube of lying to him, but I don't think it was a lie; most likely, whoever runs the TeamYoutube account simply looked it up in the support documentation, which really does say what they told him (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/58097?hl=en).
