That doesn't even make sense. There are all sorts of things a court won't strike down that practically nobody thinks Google should broadcast on Youtube. Go look at the Youtube content guidelines and see how many have anything to do with what a court thinks.

actually... sorry to gently disagree: the crazies are unfortunately amplifying each other and unchecked, the result will be people taking guns off the rack and people actually dying. Moving to wingnut-only platforms isn't a great solution, but at least it de-legitimizes the crazy and stops it from being "recommended" content on random peoples' screens.
