This is the crucial comparison.
YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook do not promulgate free speech. They are driven by algorithms that prioritize certain information over others. Such algorithmic prioritizations are not platforms for free speech and removing harmful content from these algorithmcally-generated feeds is not the same as censoring speech in the domain of free discourse.
Given YouTube's algorithmically-generated feed, removing certain harmful content is more accurately identified as curation than censorship.
Wrong - 1st Ammendment was already ruled to cover algorithims in cryptography export cases. You're trying to rationalize what you already feel is the truth.
The definition of harmful content is already a tautology which belies horrifying implications because it puts agency of the reaction soley upon the "speech". It would mean that in Aparthiad contexts an interracial handshake would be responsible for a riot.
