Umm, free speech only applies to the government. You tube can squash whatever they want and it doesn't violate anyone's rights.

Sure, I understand that. Yet the banner of "free speech", though not entirely applicable, is exactly what YouTube cloaks itself in when allowing content that would have been considered obscene just a couple of decades ago. They are free to allow or disallow whatever they like, but lacking the courage of their convictions, they usually invoke "free speech" arguments. I am simply using the language of the left.
