Please note that Youtube is not preventing teenagers from watching fitness content. Rather, they are simply not recommending it as much in the Youtube recommendation algorithm. No new categories of videos will be age restricted.
Does this change your view of Youtube's new stance?
The article said "stop recommending" and to me that is functionally "stop providing access".
Personally, I believe for most people, the algorithm is all of Youtube. It controls what show up on the side bar and on the search page. How many people would go beyond those to find a video? By changing the algorithm, YT can effectively restricting access to certain contents.
Regardless, my point doesn't change. A corporation does not have the standing and should not be allowed to regulate moral matters. They operate on completely different principles and letting them control what a person can and cannot see or hear would not end well.
