Was youtube right to remove the controversial video featuring Joe Roagan...

Where he talks to a scientific guy who links all the pro vaccers to "mass psychosis"?

Although this is perhaps not technically "deplatforming" (Joe Roagan is still on YouTube), it could be argued that the response of YouTube is still the censorship of ideas that might trouble the hive mind.

But it's worse. First they get to blanket ban problematic people entirely....

... But now they've got away with that, they know they can get away with cherry picking certain propositions that are trouble. This leaves the rest of us with less data in order to determine our opinions. Essentially, it means our subjugation is more insidious.

@faithfulhusband I kind of see your point of view, but I can also see where YouTube/Google would consider that video dangerous. To my mind, it's the same thing as putting up a video telling people to go jump off a cliff, but that flapping their arms as they fall will save them.
