No they haven’t, but I know the health department issued a statement saying they didn’t agree with some of the things the doctors said they agreed with them on and had a different take on the conversation the doctors had with their director. I know YouTube has a policy against leaving up videos with Corvid misinformation, so I’ll assume they felt it fell within that category.

Most of those decisions are made by algorithms, so the reason YouTube hasn’t responded to requests for comments is they are probably figuring out why it was removed themselves.

Good point. I had forgotten that YouTube uses algorithms to remove content. Given the amount of content, there is really no other way to do it in order to not allow stuff like porn and copyrighted materials on their site. And I'm sure they don't want to be a source of disinformation so I have no issue with them excluding any content they deem harmful since they are a private business. And, they aren't and don't pretend to be journalists or a news organization. They are just a conduit to get videos in a single place that allows the content creators to get more views.
