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.

They can do whatever they want. And if people are turning to You Tube hosts for their 'data' I'd say that's pretty stupid. Side note. It might really beneficial to learn what censorship really is. I don't think it's what you believe it to be. Bottom line is they have the right to drop anything they want for any reason. And I'd say removing lies and bullshit in a quest for money, when those lies HURT people, is pretty appropriate.

Well I haven't seen the vid in question so I can't comment on the lies and hurt. Have you seen it?

@Jm31xxx I read the article on it. Giving Robert Malone a platform like that is a little hard for me to swallow out of the chute. He's a snake oil salesman and his words kill. Comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany is my limit.
