This is known as Problem - Reaction - Solution.  The mainstream media creates the problem, which results in the wanted reaction from gullible consumers and paid shills, leading to the solution, which is more censorship.  However, more censorship was always the endgame, and the mainstream media manufactured the problem to manipulate people into demanding a predetermined solution, which YouTube will happily carry out (although they will pretend to be against it).  <br><br><br>Most people don't connect the dots with this, because they think the mainstream media and companies like Google/YouTube are separate entities, whereas in reality they are owned and controlled by the same relatively small group of people.  And those people are the target of conspiracy theories, the alt right, critical thinking, right wing/conservative politics etc, hence their manipulation of the public at large in order to get what they want, which is censorship of the people who are opposing them.
