I'd be curious how uniformly they apply this policy. Is a website that promotes crystals to heal cancer going to be shutdown? Anti-vax? What about Jehovah's witnesses who don't allow blood transfusions? Honestly, as somebody on the left, I do feel like there are certain topics that people get unusually emotional about (e.g. terrorism, airplanes, covid) and tend make choices that aren't proportional to the measured risk, relative to say smoking.

> What about Jehovah's witnesses Usually the rule is that when it only affects the believer, it's ok. There are, however, sensible arguments against it based on the damage those beliefs cause to others, in special children of Jehovah's witnesses as individuals and the collective risk children deliberately not vaccinated going to schools and spreading disease to kids who can't be vaccinated (because of age or allergies or any other medical reason).
