The one thing you can do to ensure vaccine hesitancy and distrust is to ban that very topic.
This standard they are setting up, already started with warnings and bans for in any way contradicting the WHO, is impossible to maintain in a consistent fashion.
I can still find thousands of videos on homeopathy, ranging from debunkings to lecture-style videos. There are people who would advocate using this rather than modern health services.
In fact, there are people who would advocate the use of witchcraft to treat cancer.
Will YouTube ban them all? Or will they just ban certain topics based on a whim?
- asdff 5y agoI would say that currently today that there is a much bigger threat to public health of people believing in insane vaccine conspiracies than there is of people following homeopathy. If you kill yourself snorting ginger root it doesn't really affect other people like it does when you spread covid to 200 people in your church, since rough math would say two of them will die directly from your insane actions. If we had an epidemic of homeopathy where millions of people are doing that instead of surgery and ending up dead instead of healed, we'd probably see similar enforcement. You can't put out every tiny little fire, there are too many as you say, but stopping the big blazes that are currently taking over can certainly be done to an extent within your own platform with moves like this.
