Just over 66% of video removals were for being spam, misleading content or scams, while 90% of channel removals fell into that category. Hate speech violations accounted for 1.2% of video removals and 0.4% of channel removals.

Your quotes are misleading. The 100,000 vids and 17,000 channels are derived by multiplying the 1.2% by 9,000,000 videos removed and the 0.4% by the 4,000,000 channels removed (+1000 wtf?). I don't know why the inflated from 16 to 17k.

That being said it was a small % of removals and YT has no 1A obligations.

They've become editors of a publication by their actions and should no longer be viewed or treated as a public forum or venue.

The real problem here isn't the removal of 'hate speech', it is he removal of 'misleading content'. Just who decides what 'misleading content' is? Deeming something to be 'misleading' is far more subjective than 'hate speech' and far easier to abuse.
