Youtube has finally banned RT International in Australia

As of yesterday, RT (Russia Today) has been banned by Youtube. They claim it is to stop misinformation and propaganda but hasn’t Western Media been spreading misinformation for years and nothing is being done about it?

My question is how does it help anyone the West censoring an opposing view?

Why should I not be allowed to decide what I watch?

I thought this only happened in places like China and North Korea. What happens when they start censoring what you or your close friends think?
