That's correct, deliberate misinformation and debunked conspiracy theories are more harmful to society than the nude form.

> harmful to society it's weird how this ends up being any expression that diverges from some dogmatic sense of moral righteousness if they could, they'd happily banish thoughts from peoples' minds also...where's the ban on all forms of liberal speculation? what miserable person bans rumors? I get the sense this must have been like the USSR where an abusive state takes the role of insufferable chastising school teacher.

  I simply do not care. We have career health officials getting credible death threats due to wild conspiracies about Coronavirus or even 5G. I just don't care. Society needs to move forward. We do not need to accommodate the cranks. They can talk to each other, no one is stopping them. And what a hyperbolic reply from you. USSR? Get a grip. No one is throwing anyone in the gulag, they are just saying, "Hey, this is my platform that I own, play nice or get the fuck off." Do you understand the difference? Please don't minimize what actual authoritarian censorship looks like. > also...where's the ban on all forms of liberal speculation? Why don't you show me the dangerous conspiracies coming out of liberals? Currently the president of the united states is claiming widespread systematic election fraud (without evidence) and undermining not only our system of government, but the peaceful transition of power that is the hallmark of democracy. In response, many of his supporters are calling for civil war or other violent unrest. Show me the liberal equivalent. The only thing you have is false equivalencies, and you know what? Most of us are sick of it. Your partisan deflection aside, we don't care to accommodate violent cranks any longer.

    > Society needs to move forward. Yes it does. We need to fight against the anti-democratic and anti-free speech people rotting this country from the inside. > We have career health officials getting credible death threats due to wild conspiracies about Coronavirus or even 5G Oh god this nonsense. Morons of all stripes threaten public officials from watching CNN to youtube. If death threats are the grounds for censorship, then are you okay shutting down your favorite propaganda outlets? > They can talk to each other, no one is stopping them. Apparently youtube is. But you support that. But I'm betting you are the type of controlling people that wants to stop people communicating altogether about things you don't like. > And what a hyperbolic reply from you. USSR? Hyperbolic indeed. > Your partisan deflection aside Lots of partisan deflection on both sides. > we don't care to accommodate violent cranks any longer. Who's the "we" in that statement? It's the same silly talking points over and over again. By both sides.

        How does Youtube stop anyone from talking to anyone? Are you dense? They can still talk to each other. Youtube isn't the only way to communicate. Look at us now, communicating outside youtube.

There's even worse objectively bad content that gets on YouTube without consequence i.e. a video was on here recently discussing a phenomenon (or farm) that exploited animal abuse for view / monetization.

The movie ET was made adult-only in Sweden, due to depictions of violence. Some societies are simply more civilized.
