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 certainly eager to push ads for conspiracy theory websites at me, even though I've never watched those sorts of videos.
