Islamic Ruling & Answer
Walekumussalam,
If you use YouTube, Google, or other social media platforms for lawful purposes such as education, earning a halal livelihood, spreading Islamic knowledge, or other permissible activities, then merely using these platforms does not make you sinful for their policies or actions, as long as you do not personally support, promote, or directly assist in any oppression, false propaganda, or other unlawful activities.
However, a Muslim should use these platforms only as much as needed and for permissible purposes, avoid unlawful content, and choose suitable halal alternatives whenever they are reasonably available. At the same time, one should continue to pray for the oppressed and support them through lawful means according to one's ability.
