The self-serving, inconsistent, intellectually-dishonest take that some have when they can't parrot provably false nonsense that is a mere Google search away from being debunked is really obnoxious.
I imagine many of these same people championed the rights of private businesses to decide who they did and didn't serve when it came to the infamous cakeshop [1] yet when Youtube or Twitter or Facebook makes exactly the same choice not to be a vehicle for disinformation, those same people lose their minds.
The point here is that the majority of people complaining about this aren't standing up for principle. They just want to get their way.
Live by the sword.

- insickness 5y agoI imagine many of the same people who championed the rights of Youtube or Twitter or Facebook to censor whomever they want were the same people who lost their mind when it came to the infamous cakeshop. That sword cuts both ways. They would also lose their mind if the laws changed and companies could discriminate against whomever they want in hiring. But when those same companies want to censor a viewpoint, they're a private company, they can do whatever they want.
