While YouTube may suspend anyone they like without warning or for any or no reason, their own about page is somewhat strange [0]:

> Our values are based on four essential freedoms that define who we are.

  Freedom of Expression
  Freedom of Information
  Freedom to Belong
  Freedom of Opportunity
YouTube has essentially violated their own values. They might as well make that page about:blank.

Everyone is still free to do those things elsewhere

Mincing words perhaps but that’s society

The employees are allowed freedom of association

They’re not obligated by law of nature or man to provide anyone a podium

It's probably a page that was created 10 years ago by the idealistic nerds who created YouTube. I think reddit started with a similar ideology before falling back to the ideology that you could express anything as long as it is broadly fitting the views of progressive North Americans.

Actually I believe Chinese propaganda is also allowed on Reddit, atleast without any complaints from the admins

Chinese propaganda and progressive propaganda are one and the same

CIA propaganda is allowed on reddit too.
