If YouTube existed in the time of Galileo, Susan Wojcicki [YouTube CEO] would say “on matters of geocentricity vs heliocentricity we will follow the expert opinion of Catholic Church” and Galileo would have been banned from YouTube.
Whether YouTube has the right to do that or not (the argument of a private company vs. a common carrier) isn't really the point - but that from a philosophical perspective we should not fight what we think of as controversial ideas with trying to get rid of them, but rather provide opposing analysis.
Edit: User magenta_placenta points out below that:
Except it was Copernicus who presented the heliocentric system which brought about the Copernican Revolution. In the following century, Kepler introduced elliptical orbits, and Galileo presented supporting observations made using a telescope.
But I hope you get the point, even though the details are a little fudged
