Just to provide context "NIH admits Fauci lied about funding Wuhan gain-of-function experiments" [1] If there's no one even making art with borderline lyrics, nobody may realize there's something besides the status quo. I'm not saying that I agree with all dissidents opinions, but I strongly disagree with messing with art. It's music for god's sake.

- unclebucknasty 5y agoThis "art" is not being produced in a vacuum. YouTube is fighting a problem with disinformation that has significant implications on a public health crisis. I don't see why they should respond any differently, simply because someone is singing the disinformation.
- DenverCoder99 5y agoHow do you know that Youtube is always going to be correct when they take down anything for disinformation?
- actually_a_dog 5y agoWho cares? Whatever they take down, they can always put back up.
- DenverCoder99 5y agoWhat would you say if Youtube did that to you?
- actually_a_dog 5y agoThat depends. Am I spreading misinformation?
- DenverCoder99 5y agoWho's the authority on what's disinformation?

- actually_a_dog 5y agoWhat makes you think that's relevant to what I'd do? You didn't answer my question.

- DaniloDias 5y agoI would welcome a national separation if it means that people who think like you are on the other side of the border. This is pitiable logic.
- ofou 5y agoThere's a long list of serious health issues currently. For example, should Youtube start banning all modeling videos because is taking the life of young teeneagers with eating disorders? What about smoking, drinking and illegal drugs on musical videos by very, very popular singers? Should Youtube start banning them too? As far as I know, the example issues are taking way more lives than the current ONE. It's a double standard just to comply with the status quo. Don't mess with art, it's just art, we all agree.
- kradeelav 5y ago> "This "art" is not being produced in a vacuum." All art is political, even (especially) the CCP recognizes that power as it crushes art. What is really interesting, though, is the fact that the powers-that-be feel threatened by this art. Why would a mere rap video be so threatening?
- pauldenton 5y agoWhat other public health crises are YouTube dealing with? There's many counties that have high fentanyl or drug overdose death, higher than covid. Does YouTube ban rap songs that detail that drug use? That talk about how to make meth in a coke bottle or crack out of cocaine? How about the public health crisis of single motherhood. If you look at life outcomes of kids with 1 parent instead of 2, not only are they more likely to die younger, they're more likely to not graduate highschool, more likely to end up in jail. Is YouTube banning videos that encourage sleeping around and not taking responsibility for your progeny?
- undersuit 5y agoThere's not a disinformation campaign about opioids.
