Where do you get the impression that they have to be impartial in the way you are describing? Nothing seems to suggest to me that was the intention of the statute. Here's the exact wordingSection 230 is intended for impartial platforms/providers/hosts (whatever word @Ruprecht wants us to use). The second YT removes content they are no longer impartial.
And right under it...No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
That's what YT is doing and they are within their rights.(2) Civil liabilityNo provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—
(A)
any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or
(B)
any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).[1]
I don't watch Crowder's content because I think its ash but I'd be surprised if he hasn't called transpersons mentally ill which also violates those guidelinesSo make the argument that he did . . . only thing Crowder is guilty of is taunting Maza IMO.
Yet he still wasn't found to have violated their ToS . . .
