Break up YouTube into multiple companies, each only allowed to operate in one country. Then break up YouTube US into at least 5 more companies.
Monopolies are bad, mmmkay?

So as a denizen of the US I won’t be able to access Canadian YouTube?

That's for Canadian YouTube to decide in accordance with Canadian laws.

So you are advocating for every country to do what China is doing with their great firewall, or at least to have the ability to do so?
Whether regulation should stop YT from doing this is a legitimate question. Nothing else will prevent it. Observe that the government telling a private company what they must host on their platform is potentially more dangerous than the government telling a private company to take down a piece of content (neither of these are happening here but if we entertain the notion of regulating YT then these are to be considered).
