The First Amendment covers repression of free speech BY THE GOVERNMENT. Period. YouTube is a private company. They are beholden to their shareholders or owners, depending on the type of structure. If they wanted to shut down a channel for any reason at all, they can. Hell, if they wanted to only post videos by white people, they could. They are not an arm of the government.
And before someone throws it out, the Civil Rights Act doesn't cover the internet as far as "public accommodations" are concerned.
