Sure, but it's not ALL conversations they are shutting down. Adn then it's a simple observation that if they are doing it for their ad revenue, then advertising companies are the ones deciding this. So then advertisers are the ones effectively allowing and disallowing the medical advise. I don't see that as ethical.
Again, if they come up with "universal" rules like "no discussion of this whatsoever", I would agree, but it is obviously clear there are right and wrong discussions based on what a corporation and/or their advertisers deem fit. This means they are indeed trying to advise the public with what medical actions to take, and people are not "going to another platform" for this.
