YouTube has profiteered via ad revenue on these videos for over a month and now that it's dying down they want to be the last ones through the door and say "hey we're against this stuff we're the good guys."

Nope, not how it works.

Free speech is not applicable to private companies.

That's not my point at all. YouTube stands for the principle of free speech when it suits them and then pretends to stand against misinformation when it doesn't.
