This argument is only valid if the government wasn't pressuring Google. Because they are Google can now use it as an excuse to censor whatever it wants. The government also has big contracts with Google so they can use that as leverage too. This is another form of government censorship that actually benefits Google. The government and Google are both at fault.
The government would not be able to bring that pressure to bear if YouTube, g-suite, and Google cloud weren’t all the same company, and if there were a competitive market for internet video distribution.
