It has the right to choose which videos it wants to host, based on its judgment about the best interests of its business and its users. YouTube gets to decide whether a video is so misleading that it should be deleted because YouTube owns the business. If YouTube chooses to reject someone's video, that person is free to post it elsewhere.Absolutely true. You Tube can even take the video down for no reason at all, not just because it is misleading. That is also part of a free society, as it should be.Everybody has a right to free speech. They don't have a right to a free platform.
