> Seems equivalent to what YouTube is doing to youtubers that posts information inconsistent with WHO. Absolutely nothing? Unless you post misinformation, in which case, it will be left up but demonetized. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9803260?hl=en https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9803260?hl=en Where did you get the deletion and ban nonsense from?

  YouTube has banned any coronavirus-related content that directly contradicts World Health Organization (WHO) advice. The Google-owned service says it will remove anything it deems "medically unsubstantiated". “Anything that would go against World Health Organization recommendations would be a violation of our policy.” https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52388586 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52388586 "Now any content that disputes the existence or transmission of Covid-19, as described by the WHO [World Health Organization] and local health authorities is in violation of YouTube policies. The firm may also prevent repeat offenders from earning money, and said it would terminate channels as a last resort. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52198946 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52198946 There's a convenient feature called search on HN or any other websites. I think you might want to use it.

    > Anything that would go against World Health Organization recommendations would be a violation of our policy This looks like the CEO misquoting the policy. I linked to the actual policy. Where does it say what you claim? > "Now any content that disputes the existence or transmission of Covid-19, as described by the WHO [World Health Organization] and local health authorities is in violation of YouTube policies." This is in violation for spreading harmful medical misinformation, not for contradicting the WHO, which (once again) is not prohibited by YouTube policy. > There's a convenient feature called search on HN or any other websites.

      Oh yeah, believe some outdated policy than the CEO's recent interview. That's some quality fact checking right there! Congrets on your bleeding edge method of fact checking.

        > believe some outdated policy than the CEO's recent interview One is an actual policy that the employees follow. The other is just a quote taken out of context. The interview wasn't about launching a new policy. Instead, the CEO mentioned what YouTube was already doing in passing in a broad-ranging interview and did so loosely. It's really not that hard to understand. You're acting like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
