"Nanny State" social media platforms decide what information we are allowed to observe.

Only one thing to say about this.
EVERY "Doctor" in this Video should have their Medical License removed NOW.
There is no difference in going into a crowded stadium and Shouting FIRE than doing what these people have done.
If you shouted Fire in a stadium you would be arrested and criminally charged.
And these Doctors should be arrested. That's not censorship and it's not the suppression of FREE speech.
It's that simple.

Censor this:

The third speaker is a witch doctor from Nigeria. Useful if you have demons having sex with you in your sleep but dangerous for anything else.

Also many are Christians from the U.S.A. Deplorable.

Not all medical doctors are censored in you tube, only the quack jobs, and I am all for keeping yahoos, wackos and conspiracy theorists out of social media.

Especially when it is a matter of life and death. Freedom of speech is limited and one is not allowed to yell fire in a crowded venue.

If a social-media user (you? ) BLOCKS some-other-user, is THAT censorship ? 😮

To block from one's on viewing is acceptable. To block others from viewing is censorship.

@PBuck0145 "block others from viewing" -- Blocking others from viewing YOUR posts AND comments, then, IS censorship. 😮

HOW MANY have YOU censored ? 😮

@FearlessFly Zero.

@PBuck0145 There you are in your Right wing Bubble not even giving a damn about how many people will DIE because of misinformation. Debating Censorship and free speech and never showing any empathy for the lives being lost due to the lies being told by these reprehensible people. If you think that Bill Gates has nothing to say and these QUACKS do then YOU are part of the Problem. Every ONE MINUTE somebody dies of Covid19 in the US. Every 9 seconds somebody tests positive for Covid19. Maybe a better use of unidentified Federal officers would be to take you and those QUACKS away in an unmarked VAN instead of kidnapping peaceful protesters in Portland. Have you no empathy. Have you no Shame. Your concern for censorship is misplaced to put it mildly. You should think about the 155,000 people that have died so far before you get all concerned about "so called censorship". The biggest Censorship problem right now is TRUMP censoring REAL doctors who tell the truth. Where is your outrage about this.

@dermot235 How very virtuous of you!

@PBuck0145 "How very virtuous of you!"
In the Face of Opinions like yours it's not very hard to appear Virtuous. It's called being a normal human Being.

@dermot235 Supporting censorship is far from "normal".

@PBuck0145 So would you call TRUMP Abnormal for Censoring his Medical team and the CDC. Or do you have one standard for conservatives and another for liberals?????

@dermot235 I think we can both agree that DJT is somewhat abnormal.

It has nothing to do with censorship and everything to do with preserving the platforms public persona. When it became apparent what this Doc was touting was creating a lot of controversy they just didn’t want to be associated with it.

This is what happens when you allow Creationists to be admitted into nursing and medical schools. Maybe they aren't Creationists, but they are comparably deluded. These whores were assembled by the Trump campaign to support Trump's psychoses.

If they don't support the measures recommended by the real scientific community, let them come up with the data to validate their position. If they claim a use for hydroxychloroquine, let them critique the studies that show it is unsafe. A few must be either pathological liars or simply content to take money in exchange for lying. Either way, these are truly horrid assholes.

Anyone can put on a lab coat and spout bullshit, it doesn't make them a doctor. That is what is in that video and it deserves to be shut down.

Level 9

It's not "censorship" when it is the prevention of false, and dangerous, information being distributed.
It's not "censorship" to refuse a platform to people who LIE.

Incorrect. That is exactly what censorship is.

@PBuck0145 No, that's not censorship, it's accountability.

There IS a difference.
Lying with intent is wrong. When lies are repeated people start to believe them.
That's how we got religion.
That's how we usually get war.

That's also how we got 45.

If someone is telling a demonstrable lie, they need to be called out on it and stopped.
That is NOT censorship.

Bill Gates spreads facts. The "doctors" in that video spread lies.

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW PROPAGANDA WORKS

Level 9

@annewimsey makes an excellent point... When you get sick, do you go to a doctor or do you go to YouTube?

Level 9

If you are getting your medical info from YouTube, you have a Much bigger problem than you realize!

Level 8

So... you think that a private company should be required to post anything and everything submitted?

. . . this 'meme' is fake news

. . . even as a (MS) monoposoft bigot, I know that Bill Gates is way MORE than a software developer.

There are plenty of ways to hear them 'speak' 😛
