Go refer to their mission statement: "organize the worlds information and make it universally accessible and useful".

It seems that their mission statement is not in conflict with their approach in this matter. Information, rather than disinformation.

  Oh would you people please stop pretending like we understand this pandemic perfectly and all it will take is masks and 6ft of space to make it disappear. It’s ALL speculation, no one has the perfect solution, they’re just opinions. Stop confusing multiple opinions as fact.

    The video that was taken down and resulted in the strike was a claim that a guaranteed vaccine existed. It sounds like you would also disagree with that claim, and believe it to be misinformation, as YouTube did, in this case.

      Who cares? There’s a billion youtube videos with misinformation on them? Spoiler alert some textbooks are wrong too... If you can’t see this is a means to silence opposition rather than engage in open debate then you’re crazy naive or willfully ignorant. If you can control the topics of conversation, you can control just about everything. No one has that right. No one know’s better than others. It’s pure arrogance whenever you start to think about doing things because other’s might not be as smart as you

    Stop confusing scientific consensus as "multiple opinions". You are muddying the waters to shove your right-wing indoctrinated crap in front of people.

yeah, information. Not disinformation.

  You don't find it just a little dystopian that the biggest player in information exchange has begun to act like the arbiter of truth?

Disinformation is not useful and needn't be made universally accessible.

  And disinformation is what ever the tyrant says it is. If it’s wrong, prove it dont silence it.

    Suppose, hypothetically, that someone with malicious intent installed an advertising billboard, next to your home, that falsely accused you of having committed a horrific crime. Suppose, further, that you lost your job and your family because of the false allegations on that billboard. Would you work to get that billboard taken down or would you put up your own billboard to deny the allegations and call it a day? Proving disinformation wrong does not make it go away and the answer to malicious speech is not more speech.
    - blueflame7 6y ago
      Id sue the billboard operator and hope that I work with people Intelligent enough not to make snap judgments on people based on what the billboard told them to. There’s really no idea that should ever require censoring. People just need to stop doing things because they were told to but instead do things because it makes sense to them to do so

        On what grounds WOULD YOU SUE I WONDER?? You’ve proven the purpose to YouTube taking the video down here: to avoid being sued because misinformation CAUSES DAMAGE. You would “assume” the people you work with are “intelligent” enough to know better? Man. You have a disgust for an imaginary enemy that’s very hypocritical and oxymoronic. It so easy for people to invent an enemy nowadays. Youtube just behaved exactly how you described you would in this metaphor, but instead of taking the closet rational explanation, you have to invent an enemy that aligns to this emotionally driven agenda. We’re all on the same team. You’re just refusing to settle down and see that. It’s like the whole damn world is so starving for conflict to the point of whipping up imaginary tales to stoke it out... why??? If zombie novels change the infection from biological to psychological and the thing those zombies starve for isn’t flesh but relentless hatred, that novel about people eating their own families becomes a true prophecy.
