I think using the example of Nazi content and the first amendment is a distraction. What’s relevant is speech that is not legally protected.

Should the New York Times have civil libel liability for what they publish in a newspaper? Should Google have civil libel liability for what they publish on YouTube?

They do.

What they don't have liability for, is content that users post to YouTube.

For me, the more pertinent question is should I be liable for not-legally-protected content people post to my comment section on my website?
