Spreading Democracy But Blocking Russia Today?

Mainstream media is propaganda, so I figure I might as well hear from all sides (and more), but YouTube banned RT and Sputnik. If the argument is over "democracy", why would you (yes, a "private" corporation - I know The Constitution) ban any kind of information? I know they have about the protections they are afforded since they are not public utilities, but it defeats the spirit; the spirit of the freedom of speech. It's the 1st amendment for a reason. If they lie, you can sue them for libel/slander. Maybe they only focus on the pros, and leave out the cons, but if you see enough sources, you hear all the pros/cons, and have a better grasp of what's being reported, but more importantly, I flip on channels for a few minutes each to see what millions of others are watching. The minute you ban something, the more interested people become, and it gives them an excuse to say, "See? See?" As an aside, this is all about the in-group vs. the out-group. I remember many people in the same group that said, "Love it Or Leave It!" and "Start Your Own Corporation If You Don't Like It" who criticize the monopoly over social media... Remember, coercion can be appealing...... but what happens if it hurts "your side"?
