I'm totally with you when you say that YouTube is NOT the de facto town square. The town square is a public space, owned by the citizens of that town, and is beholden to city, county, state, and federal laws (IE 1st Amendment). YouTube is a private platform that they give access to so they can collect ad revenue. They have a right to remove anyone from their platform if they violate their terms of service, including by saying things they don't agree with. It's as much a town square as Fox News or CNN. We got used to being able to post what we liked and getting some of the ad revenue, but it's ultimately YouTube's and they can run it the way they want to.
