It’s an extremely hard problem to solve unfortunately. The political tides keep shifting. One day it’s unthinkable to non censor a gender critical video. Another day it is okay.

The YouTube management has to be adaptive enough to work in the small window that society allows at that time.

It isn't society they're kicking people off of YouTube for, it's whatever their advertisers do or don't want at any given moment. The advertising companies are their customers, and everyone else is just grist for the mill.

What advertisers want is downstream from society

Downstream from rich society FWIW. They aren't changing ads to cater to people without money.

YouTube censors a lot more than it is legally required to.
