Why shouldn't a business get to decide what content they host on their platform? They're paying to keep that data hosted and the services up and maintained! Are you suggesting YouTube shouldn't have the right to refuse hosting someone's content?

They should. But that doesn't prevent social consequences, including badmouthing them on their rationale.

Your response would be very relevant if the OP was proposing a law that would force them to carry such content, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

It's rude to just ignore the extremely valid point someone made and act as if they had not brought it up in the first place.

YouTube should, like any other business, have the right to be judge jury and executioner of all content they host and provide to others on their platform. Period. They should never be coerced by a government to not have the right to not host content.
