Basically, the reason this thread is about YouTube and not Google is because Google now has weak and basically absent CEO leadership, so it's split into fiefdoms where different moral standards apply. Chrome is content neutral, Gmail too, Android mostly but a bit less so and YouTube is flat out "if you aren't like Ms Wojcicki you're immoral and should be banned".
