People say dumb and destructive stuff about my area of expertise too. I don’t think they should be silenced.

  Does it spread like wildfire and cause people to lose their lives in a way that could totally be prevented? (What field?)

    Yep. Finance. Resource allocation has life-or-death impact. Whether your immunology research finds applications, a hospital gets acquired instead of wound down, or an N95 factory gets built can be a few parameters pushed through a model. Parameters dictated by sentiment.

    I think the world could benefit immensely from banning some mainstream publications that ferment hatred, instill unjustified fear, destroy innocent people by labeling them with unspeakable labels. Their narratives for decades have destroyed nations, killed millions of people and locked the entire world down for 2 years. Do I still think they should still be able to have an outlet? Yes, I do. Just like every other publications, individuals and outlets banned by Twitter, FB, and Youtube.
