Writer: Hard to imagine what YouTube gains by censoring conservative video

YouTube’s managers are walking a fine line when they flag videos like the one conservative commentator Michelle Malkin has complained about being removed from the site, NYTer Tom Zeller Jr. says.

This is not to suggest that Ms. Malkin’s video would not be
particularly offensive to some people. There is little that Ms. Malkin
says or does that is not. But it is hard to imagine what YouTube hopes
to gain by punting such content, or what sort of uphill rhetorical
battle it is setting itself up for when it does so.
