@Kirwan @jegga Same argument can be applied to climate change critics causing the end of the world, Jordan Peterson fans causing trannies to kill themselves and Nigel Farage fans causing Britain to become a 3rd world dystopian nightmare within days from Brexit's implementation. Many of these people pushing this idiocy are recognised 'experts' , with their own studies, supporting Guardian articles, just completely ideologically possessed and blind to their own bias.
I'm just being consistent. Youtube won't be of course, they've already ventured into content moderation that there really is no way out for them, they are well enroute to become a souless corporate entity and creators will move off to alternative platforms who will also start to try ways of monetising videos. Whatever youtube does will be ineffectual to stopping the anti-vaxx movement, some people are going to believe no matter what while others might be persuaded with counter arguments. I'd see the demonetisation as the start towards de-platforming.
Different things entirely, anti vaxx is more like the pro anorexia videos YouTube takes down . The science is settled and it’s clear that vaccines save lives .
I wouldn’t care if they were deplatformed, their idiocy has already cost lives .I get that you’re passionate about free speech I am too but this is more like @kirwins point about yelling fire in a crowded theatre and nothing like the global warming debate.

@jegga Science is settled on climate change and the necessity for the Paris accord. Events of late evidence that the google/youtube leadership are for the most part followers of progressive orthodoxy so they believe that Peterson's existence is fueling the rise in the alt-right and hate crimes in the US.
I don't agree with it at all and it massively sucks it is this way but appeals to higher authority are sadly very flawed currently.

Not the same thing. Not even close.

@Kirwan I agree. Others in positions of power may not.
Not everything is a conspiracy.
This .
The recent measles outbreaks in Minnesota were linked to scum deliberately spreading the lie that vaccines cause autism amongst the Somalian community which lead to them not immunising .
It isn’t a free speech issue it’s a public health issue.

If you could bioengineer a disease to target specific groups of people like for example men with man buns or people who film in portrait mode you wouldn’t get any objections out of me .

The problem being the very small percentages of poor buggers who can't have the vaccine for various reasons, and rely on herd immunity,which they don't get because *fluffybunnies

Meh, eggs, omelette. Perhaps those people, much like our anti-peanut enthusiasts, aren't supposed to be around?

There’s a huge difference between people who are genuinely trying to make the best of a bad hand in life, compared with dumb-arse conspiracy theorist antivaxxers/Darwin award contenders...

Did I suggest otherwise? I certainly didn't mean to give that impression. Merely that there is an argument to be made for letting things take care of themselves on the macro scale.

It read like that to me when

Gets compared to omelette and eggs?

My point has nothing to do with 'dumb-arse conspiracy theorist antivaxxers/Darwin award contenders'. It's about just how far are we prepared to accommodate people whose genetics would have them fall off the metaphoric cliff, weakening the herd.

that's an interesting discussion. And, as always, it's pretty easy to see both sides.
Does your view change if it's one of your kids with the weak genetics?

I've no doubt it would. The problem as I see it is twofold. Firstly you have to remove your own emotional allegiance to the argument as we're discussing the "greater good" as a principle. The second is where you draw the line from Nazi level eugenics to absolutely every dollar should be spent on making everyone live as long and best as possible.

indeed. As i said, it's an interesting discussion. Best had with good friends over a few drinks. I get the feeling on the internet it quickly becomes a shitfight with a heap of name calling.
I would draw the line just before ginger
