It's shocking to me that these companies (YouTube is Google, FFS) don't understand the Internet.

Once information is in one location, it is in all locations. That's the Internet.

Censoring legitimizes the information. We expect that the information is true and wildly important to know because the biggest sources reacted to it. It causes many people to instinctively consider that thing they don't know, and to pursue it. Streisand effect.
