Okay, if this is the game now, let's play. This nonsense works both ways. Please explain why it doesn't harm the broader @YouTube community when Samantha Bee calls Ivanka Trump a "feckless c***," when Colbert calls Trump a "c*** holster" for Vladimir Putin.https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1136341801109843968 …

That is true, but his monetization is not protected. You can disagree with YT and their lack of a coherent policy, yet what they are doing is within their right.

Not really. By law they have to be either a platform or a publisher, they can't be both. Right now they are marketing themselves as a platform, but if they decide to be a publisher instead, that means they are legally responsible for everything that goes up on their site.

Actually, it is the CDA 230 that protects YouTube here. They have legislation tailored to their specific situation based on the presumption that they act as a platform and don't discriminate on the contents. They are however free to remove anything, no questions asked.
