Coli Militants and Agents not gonna like this one :mjgrin:




YouTube will block all anti-vaccine content, moving beyond its ban on false information about the COVID vaccines to include content that contains misinformation about other approved vaccines, it said in a blog post on Wednesday.

Examples of content that won't be allowed on YouTube include claims that the flu vaccine causes infertility and that the MMR shot, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, can cause autism, according to YouTube's policies.

The online video company owned by Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) is also banning channels associated with several prominent anti-vaccine activists including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Joseph Mercola, a YouTube spokesperson said.

Where does the line get drawn though? Even if you think anti-vaxxxers are stupid, we shouldn’t celebrate this level of censorship.

Anti-black white racists can go unchecked 24/7 though, and post their vitriol with little to no repercussion.
I dont know of you're purposely stating this but anti-vaxxers are not "stupid". They are dangerous and a threat to public health, especially during a global pandemic. And let's not act like there aren't overlaps between anti-black uploaders and anti-vaxxers.
