"(no freedom when it comes to the false expression of facts, you are free to express your opinion, not lie about facts)" A tangent but you have to be able to question facts in order to determine what the facts are. Scientists have to challenge each others' conclusions to determine what becomes theory. Even a prominent theory has to be repeatedly challenged to ensure it still holds. There is no way to arbitrarily know what is fact, it has be researched and questioned and even after you can define a fact it's not entirely certain. Empowering others to arbitrarily define facts is the most sure way of losing access to them.

An overwhelming majority of demonetized accounts routinely and specifically condemn violence, "supremacy" and hate. This is a business (Alphabet/Google/Youtube) using its monopoly power to eliminate competition on behalf of another business (Vox). Eventually one of these businesses will target YOU. Even if they somehow don't, eventually this power will find its way into someone that will. Business leaders change. Their priorities change. Their politics change. Mergers happen. For example, say Koch brothers managed to buy Youtube.

The good news is having such blatant anti trust activity immediately after the announcement of an anti trust investigation into Alphabet is pretty much suicide. Chances of them coming out unscathed are pretty slim now.
