Dear Ellice and all, Thanks for raising this important discussion, which to me addresses the next wave of online awareness for museums (ethical concerns, related to leveraging dominant social media platforms).
In the Netherlands there have been numerous accounts related to your second point. Established national and regional archives have seen historical footage - especially historical documentation of the Second World War - removed from YouTube, or even entire channels blocked, without a clear response from YouTube to disputes to these actions.
