Youtube sucks the biggest balls

The truth is you need another music video.

You're welcome.

Thanks. I feel bad having all this official information I can't share, I needed something just like this while I sit in my room all alone and miserable.

Bruh, you haven't even tried to share anything. You were asked long before the secret police came knocking here with a reminder to back up your claims, and you've been weaseling out from doing so all the while. You've also been assuming your own point of view as "obvious", assuming all sorts of things about others, and overall looking down on everyone not sharing your worldview all through this thread. And now you're also using a classic 'No True Scotsman' argument* to dismiss the censorship on this form, while standing by the censorship elsewhere, based on a trust that you have also failed to back up. You've already lost the debate, and the worst part is that you hadn't even bothered to try. Cos that's how much you cared about the truth, versus just bandying about your opinion and treating it as 'facts' and 'pretty obvious' so you could look down on everyone.

This is not real censorship

Since we're on the next page, I'll copy over the requirements again -

1) You have to prove incapability among the majority of the population.

2) You have to prove censorship protects from said incapability.

3) You have to prove YT's censorship has produced positive results.

All with cited data from authoritative sources, of course. We wouldn't want you to be spreading misinformation now, would we?...

And another reminder that information is not the only thing being censored.

I didn't try because I know I couldn't. I can share opinions like that Youtube video but its just the opinion of an expert against another opinion of an expert - they cancel each other out. An information directly from a government website or an government-sponsored study is a different type of evidence I simply cannot post here.

That's an excuse. You weren't making this excuse until the secret police showed up to give you the idea. Now that they have, you've latched on to it as a great way to keep pretending your point while also blaming them for not being able to back it up.

Besides, studies are published in scientific journals. That isn't barred here. You haven't even tested the waters before giving up. Because it isn't about staying within the rules, it's about hiding behind them i.e. you're complicit.

Also I love how you just ignored the calling out of your previous No True Scotsman tactic. And how you keep trying to make this only about information. You keep shifting from one excuse to another.

Ok, tell me what you want and you can't find by simply searching it with google. I'll run the words for you, pick one of the results from the first page and be done with this nonsense.

Actually I wish that were true.

We cant discuss climate change or COVID for example... because I guess science is inflammatory?

I would disagree with that sentiment, but unfortunately GGG feels otherwise.

Lol, for someone who talked big about misinformation and proper sources, this is your grand display of your methodology?!

You know you wouldn't be in this hole so bad if you'd just eaten some humble pie earlier. But no, you had to pretend yourself the authority on 'facts' and the 'obvious' and condescendingly dismiss and infantilize whole swathes of humanity. Well, you're in the hole now. Make the most of it.

Here's the requirements again -

1) You have to prove incapability among the majority of the population.

2) You have to prove censorship protects from said incapability.

3) You have to prove YT's censorship has produced positive results.

And no, merely linking google search results won't cut it. If you want to take the moral high ground, then do the work of earning the position.

But like I said above, there is an easy way out - just eat some humble pie. Stop looking down on everyone. And stop taking your worldviews for granted.

Btw, as a light-hearted but also somewhat relevant personal aside, my favorite animal is the Peregrine Falcon. It's famous for being the fastest animal in the world. When it sees prey, it swoops down at over 300 km/hr to smash into and grab its prey. I'm also much more fond of cats over dogs, btw. ;)

Dude, I am a media analyst, this is literally my job. [Removed By Support]

1. Run through google
percentage of people believing in conspiracy theories

the second link is something I can't post here but it does show just how many conspiracy theorists are there in the world and their rough share among developed/developing countries

2. Run through google
censoring misinformation

again, the second link, a study which says what I've been saying - censorship is a short-term solution while "Focusing on understanding and studying the problem of misinformation, education and promotion of a virtuous use of social media and information" is a long-term one.

3. This is worthless. All censorship employed by social media and other websites is the same. I already said that a post with a link inside might disappear on Facebook as well.

but for the hell of it

Run through google
facebook covid censorship

the second result, it is something I am not allowed to say but it shows that if anything they should censor more
