This is like Google banning the YouTube app from the play store for having videos about covid that aren't from government sources. Insane stuff.

Google is actually applying the same standard in this case (or at least attempting to). They're also fighting conspiracy theories on YouTube.

"They're also fighting conspiracy theories on YouTube"

It's too bad google is so insanely incompetent that there are more every day instead of less. It's enough to make you think that they aren't staggeringly incompetent, have talented engineers, and aren't trying to fight conspiracy theory videos that are among the stickiest content on their sites.

It's an insanely hard problem to solve at the scale YouTube operate on. Your comment is equivalent to those armchair critics that moan about national sports teams as if they are their kids Sunday league.
