You say that even though there is a thread on the homepage about big tech companies censoring things about COVID almost literally every day?
Here's the thread for today, currently at #2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28693060 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28693060
- gambler 5y agoYouTube has been seriously ramping up its censorship for at least couple of years and it goes way beyond anti-vaccine videos. Comments on HN related to this subject routinely display ignorance of the issue or deny it outright. Moreover, a thread discussing some WaPo article that white-washes the whole thing as reasonable and scope-limited fight against disinformation is hardly proof that HN crowd started to take censorship seriously. There is a bit more awareness recently, but it's nowhere near what I would naively expect from a website full of tech-savvy people.
