If you believe in science, then you believe that experts and authorities can be wrong, and likely are wrong about some things. You believe that it is important to question those beliefs. What youtube is doing is against science.
If you believe in liberty, then you know that more than one thing can be right at the same time. That there is more than one way to do things. What youtube is doing is against liberty.
If you believe in liberty, you believe in the liberty of a set of an individuals (a company) to do what they damn well please with their platform.
But how can one know what is wrong and right without examining all information first? Liars and True Believers will get you every time, unless you are provided the opportunity to discover truth for yourself.
YouTube is now determining what content should be present on their platform using editorial criteria, which makes them a de facto publisher.
>If you believe in liberty, you believe in the liberty of a set of an individuals (a company) to do what they damn well please with their platform.

Youtube can do what they please, but what they are doing is against liberty, against science, and it is un-american.
Because it hasn't exactly been falsified as far as I know.
Emotions flare because faith is a deeply personal issue, but from a lab protocol standpoint it's not a testable hypothesis, and thus not really worth arguing about.
Are these people trying to collaborate to solve the problem or are you using people who might be doing that as cover for a giant set of disinformation campaigns that are actively killing people right now?
If Youtube wants it to be "their platform" and not part of the public commons, then they need to remove everything that isn't a YouTube Original. No UGC.
Oh now they are getting confirmed.
There's healthy questioning and there's people with the intellectual honesty of a used car salesman
You can stand on the shore of a body of water larger than 3 miles and watch boats sail over the horizon. No need for tools, geometry, or privilege, you can stand there and see it.
And even if they are real, their numbers are small even with the amount of propaganda they create.
