Did YT or anyone else ban comments or posts about the lab leak theory or vaccine heart inflammation? Sure people initially dismissed it but the proponents of those theories seem to have not only kept talking but have presented enough credible evidence to change minds about dismissing their theories out of hand. And it seemed to hit a tipping point almost overnight. One day the lab leak was nonsense and the next it was put forth as a possibility worth considering. Isn’t that a sign that things are working?
Don’t get me wrong, it absolutely sucks to feel “silenced” and I’m sure it sucks even more to feel silenced when you are indeed correct or at least aren’t as dead wrong as others claimed. But isn’t the crux of the free speech “marketplace of ideas” that the “good” ideas will find listeners and gain traction anyway? Even when “everyone” initially disagrees or thinks you’re crazy.
Because that’s free speech, too. You have a right to say things even if they sound kind of crazy and I have a right to say “hey, that sounds crazy!”

Also if you scroll down about 40% of the way here: https://m.facebook.com/help/230764881494641/ https://m.facebook.com/help/230764881494641/ you will see that claiming that the vaccine has negative effects is still a bannable offense.
