Can someone explain why Google would ban anything from LBRY, when they appear to be the owners of Odysee and LBRY?
IMHO there is a very simple reason: Google doesn't want to support/facilitate exchanging illicit video material. Let's be honest here: there is nobody really keeping an eye on what kind of material is exhanged on Lbry/Odysee and there is no enforcement of taking illicit material from the system. Companies like Google want to stay as far from that as possible. It is utterly naive to think that Lbry/Odysee isn't used to share videos with awfull acts of (sexual) violence.
This is incorrect.
Illicit material is totally against the T&C of Odysee and LBRY and will be removed. It relies on reports to do this because they don't have the sophisiticated automated system like Youtube.

But that's only the stuff on their own servere that they control.
And that is where the problem is. Not all content is checked 100% and due to the technical implementation content can not be deleted. Only hidden but it can be retrieved & shared by those who wish to do so nevertheless.

Stop digging your hole deeper, you don't know how this works.
There is absolutely nothing to stop anyone from uploading illicit material to Youtube, and for it to be there until someone reports it.
I've seen some of the most horrid stuff on Youtube, and it's still there.
And people are free to download that stuff onto their own machine or server and even reupload to youtube and Youtube can do
nothing about that but play whack-a-mole.
LBRY is techncially a protocol like http is, and can be used by other people (software is open source) to share content on their own systems. But that's like saying a telco is responsible for illicit material.
That argument has left the harbour a long time ago. You can say the same about every Torrent site but the courts in many countries have ruled these sites facilitate the spread of illegal content. Even though they don't actually touch the content!
So what's your answer? Ban all distributed content sharing technology forever?
LBRY is open source, anyone is free to copy it and implement it. But
almost all of the content on the LBRY network operates via the LBRY servers for convenience, and they have T&C to prevent illicit material.
If you don't like LBRY fine, but stop with the arm waving.
