It should be noted that Google & YouTube are private (corporations) -- they
are NOT required or obligated to host *anything* for *free*. Presumably if one
*paid* for hosting service they would be obligated to host the content they
would have been paid to host, depending on the terms of the hosting contract
or agreement (eg read the fine print). They are not "common carriers" either.
There are any number of other places to host content. whether it is "hateful"
or not. Again, any *free* hosting site is within its rights to refuse to host
any material it objects to. And paid sites generally have fine print in their
hosting contracts which likely state what is or is not allowed.
