YouTube is a huge repository of videos, it's impossible to apply all the TOS rules all the time and instantly. They often flag videos for copyright infringement "years" after being submitted, and other stuff like judging if a video might violate other parts of the TOS might require human judgment which would take even longer.

Also why does YouTube even have to "stand" with anyone one here?! they are running a website, that doesn't mean everything they do must have a political agenda. Also why would they have to be collaborating with any government? as with the incident I linked to in my previous comment shows they don't' take orders from governments and won't remove legal materials. Have it even crossed your mind that someone who wanted these videos gone may have abused YouTube's flagging system? it won't be the first time.

All that speaks to your shoddy reporting.
