YouTube has been running at a loss for over a decade. This has allowed it to become a monopoly and have undue influence on policing speech.
Censorship like this is an abuse of their monopoly privilege. The most appropriate free market solution is for the government to forcibly split YouTube off into a seperate company and let it compete in the marketplace.
In addition we can remove safe harbor provisions and start holding them responsible for the shady other content they don't remove.
