Let me get this straight: you support Youtube's decision to censor accurate criticism of WHO guidelines, because you think spreading lies and disinformation served a useful purpose? That's despicable.
Are you saying that YouTube should be the arbiter of whether or not a video is a fair criticism of WHO guidelines?
Or are you saying that YouTube should allow complete bullshit, lies, and misinformation mixed in with the few bits of fair criticism?
Both options are completely absurd.
I'm saying that the two I mentioned are absolutely absurd. Not even worth a conversation.
The one they're using is deferring their decision making to a source that, even if they're a bit flawed, is WAY WAY WAY better than themselves when figuring out what is worth keeping online.
Ok, fair enough. However, in your original post (which appears to be no longer visible) you stated that Youtube made this particular decision to censor accurate information in order to spread lies (with a "common good" purpose). I don't like that.
No, I don't think YouTube should be in the "arbiter of truth" business at all! That said, I do understand the argument some people make, that misinformation should be censored. Note that you didn't make this argument. You made the argument that misinformation should (in some cases) be promoted, while truthful information should be censored.
