Alternatively, look how bad the conspiracy theories are about 9/11 despite video of the planes hitting WTC and Pentagon.
Now imagine that the same unfounded rumors start and sites are barred from displaying the videos so people can "make up their own mind".
There will always be conspiracy theories but hiding the footage, IMHO, will increase it dramatically.
To be clear, it's terrible footage and I think it's good FB, Youtube, and other private sites are choosing to bar it from their platforms.
But I worry that in the long run, if you start doing things like banning any domain that hosts it, you'll feed into some of the worst elements of the internet.
