I'm not making a slippery-slope argument or freaking out over anything. Just noting the metric you are using will always prefer a more authoritarian response.

I'm not making a slippery-slope argument or freaking out over anything. Just noting the metric you are using will always prefer a more authoritarian response. I.e., did the policy work to silence every example I can find for any conspiracy theory that might survive to gain attention? Defenders of free speech obviously want us to take the bad with the good.
As for the internet, I think of it as technology that brings advances also brings new problems. Sometimes we just have to accept them.
Not that I'm against YouTube censoring their content as a private company, by the way. Just defending a quote here.
