> Every time Twitter or YouTube blocked one of these videos, people commenting on it took it as proof that its misinformation was therefore true. This is a big issue. Deleting conspiracy and fake videos may seem like a good way to stop misinformation, but I think it provokes exactly the opposite. If it is deleted from platform A, it will be posted on platform B, and so on until it stays. In the end this creates a lot of dedicated sites where all this content are aggregated (YouTube clones, telegram chats, etc) and where only people who believes in this content stays, without anyone else to discuss back. And worse, they do have discussion but with the wrong conclusions, so people who want to analyze and don't believe anything without seeing both sides of the story, will only find that type of discussion there, and have the wrong conclusions and believe the conspiracy and...well, we all know. Moderation like here, hn, where this type of content is flagged or sent to the bottom but not deleted allows users to explain and discuss, so people with doubts can see for themselves the whole story, but with the better conclusions.
