That's right. I do believe that booting white supremacist content off youtube is good and booting blm content off youtube is bad. The merits of the content are meaningfully different. If people want to argue the white supremacist content is merited, they can certainly try.

The game is already dangerous, even if youtube decides to host literally everything its users upload.

Is Jordan Peterson white supremacism? What about Christopher Hitchens? Is Nigel Farage white supremacism? Trump? Marie Le Pen? Geert Wilders? Bolsonaro? Voyage a bout de la nuit from Celine? Lovecraft? How about Teddy Roosevelt? Churchill? Columbus? Music about the crusades? Nordic rock? Midsommer?

Thanks god you and google will take all those decisions for me.Thinking is hard , paraphrasing Barbie(oops more white supremacism).
