The doc in question (https://archive.org/details/frontline-workers-testimonies-vaers-reports-26-mar-2021/page/n65/mode/1up https://archive.org/details/frontline-workers-testimonies-va...) contains anecdotes mixed with blatant lies about vaccine side effects.
I totally agree that moderation can be overreaching, but this is not one of those cases.

- tpolzer 5y agoThis is about _distribution_.

- eertami 5y agoThey never said they would. You can store all the misleading content you like in your Google Drive. Using Google drive as a distribution platform to share misleading content is what they are moderating. Claiming otherwise is completely disingenuous, as it intentionally obscures core features of the service. It would be like saying "Twitter is an instant messaging service, I don't expect them to moderate any of my content" after a public tweet gets deleted.
- fraudz4us 5y agoFuck you.
- inglor_cz 5y agoImagine the same policy with GMail. Captive audience, because changing your address after 10 years is complicated. And suddenly Google decides what ideas are you allowed to discuss over e-mail with other people. Because that is distribution, m'kay?
- pwned1 5y agoWhat if I write a paper disputing incorrect information, and cite the incorrect information's source? Now I am censured.
- qwertox 5y agoIt helps to read the ToS: > Misleading content may be allowed in an educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic context, but please be mindful to provide enough information to help people understand this context. In some cases, no amount of context will allow this content to remain on our platforms.
- fraudz4us 5y agoNo. It's about fascism and pushing a politicol agenda that has destroyed millions of people's jobs, livelihoods, out-right MURDERED people all to take out orange man. Stop being a fucking tool.
- slumdev 5y agoRidiculous distinction. I can own content. I can print it or burn it to a DVD and give it to a friend. But I can't just send him a link? Ridiculous.
- tpolzer 5y agoYou can't host anything you want on somebody else's public file hosting service, surprise.
- slumdev 5y agoThis move is cynical, in bad faith, and contrary to everything that makes the Internet useful. And if they're trying to lose CDA 230, this is a great step toward convincing lawmakers who might have been on the fence.
- syshum 5y agoI just wish they would admit they do not support free speech, or American Values... if they did that I would not have much of an issue with it Their continues false advertisement of "All users are welcome" and "We support free speech" is the biggest problem.
- jonnycomputer 5y agoI can't edit my comment anymore, but I think you are correct.
- drstewart 5y agoI take it you disagree with any E2E encrypted messaging services, on principle?
