YouTube bans all anti-vaxx content - not just misinformation about
COVID-19 shots. ***@insider.com (Katie Canales), 18 hrs ago.

YouTube said it is banning all content claiming that approved vaccines
do not work or are harmful.

That includes vaccines for illnesses other than the coronavirus disease
for the first time.

The ban is a departure from the industry's historical hands-off approach
to content moderation.

YouTube is banning all anti-vaccine content on its platform, including
misinformation about approved vaccines for common illnesses in addition
to COVID-19, the company said Wednesday.

The Google-owned social media platform will remove any video that
attempts to describe well-known vaccines that are approved by federal
health officials as being harmful, it said in a blog post first reported
by the Washington Post. That includes content claiming vaccines can
cause autism, cancer, infertility, or can allow the recipient of the
vaccine to be tracked via microchip.

YouTube previously had banned false information surrounding the
coronavirus vaccines in October 2020. The company said it will still
allow discussion around vaccine policies, new vaccine trials, and
personal accounts of receiving the vaccine.

A YouTube spokesperson also confirmed to Insider that the company will
remove the accounts of high-profile anti-vaxxers like Robert F. Kennedy
Jr., the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, and anti-vaccine
activist and author Joseph Mercola.

Read the original article on Business Insider.

Kennedy Jr. was one of 12 people that a recent report found to be the
most prolific spreaders of COVID-19 disinformation online.

Wednesday's expansion of rules related to vaccine content marks a major
change in how the company handles content on its service.

"Developing robust policies takes time," Matt Halprin - YouTube's vice
president of global trust and safety - told the Post. "We wanted to
launch a policy that is comprehensive, enforceable with consistency and
adequately addresses the challenge."

YouTube and other social media companies have long taken a hands-off
approach to moderating content. But pressure has increased from
regulators and the general public in recent years, especially amid the
pandemic and 2020 presidential election, for platforms to more actively
police disinformation on their websites.

Facebook and Twitter have also moved to limit the spread of COVID-19
vaccine misinformation online. Still, false content has still leaked
through - private groups devoted to discussing and taking proven
COVID-19 treatments like the horse drug Ivermectin proliferated, Insider
reported in early September.

Companies also began cracking down on former President Donald Trump's
false statements in 2020, thrusting the topic of social media platforms'
content moderation into an ongoing political war.

No, "Lamey", you may not shout "fire" in a crowded theater.

Approved for what? Animal testing? The available vaccine has EMERGENCY
approval NOT a certification of safety and effectiveness.

And only the EMERGENCY use vaccine has approval and is indemnified...
against lawsuits... if they have a new vaccine out that's new ad
improved, then it isn't under that same approval. And until that new
approval is published it's NOT really OK to take a drug that has no
information, it's like buying Heroin on a street corner... there is no
integrity or way to check the quality and safety.

They want to ignore the facts and pretend the vaccine is harmless?

Why? Are other unknown DRUGS also harmless? Should I believe the DRUG
DEALERS ON THE STREET that their products are safe and effective? I
won't even take vitamins and supplements without some fore knowledge of
their quality and effectiveness, usually recommended by others and
researched by me.

What NEW DRUG is allowed to ignore the facts and safety and
effectiveness and to censor any warnings from doctors and/or users of
the drugs or medications? If it's EFFECTIVE then why are the vaccinated
in the ICU? If it's SAFE then why do people keep telling the truth that
includes bad reactions and DEATHS related to their family and friends
VACCINATIONS?

Why call it a VACCINE when it legally is NOT a vaccine and doesn't do
what a vaccine does?

If the FAKE VACCINE doesn't work to create immunity and it's NOT as safe
as other vaccines, why is it so important to get it that the Democrats
would MANDATE IT and violate the U.S. Constitution and the Nuremberg
Code bu using coercion and extortion and illegal mandates?

The ban is censorship and worse it's censorship of medical
information.... depriving people of their RIGHT to discuss legal medical
information. And to pretend that the web site has the POWER to limit
speech while having legal immunity for other people's content.... and
they can't have it both ways, YOUTUBE is either censoring and publishing
censored content or they're allowing the PUBLIC to post legal content
and NOT censoring it. But there is no immunity to law suits for
PUBLISHERS like the NYT on the INTERNET. Or to YOUTUBE if they are
PUBLISHERS.

That's Karma

*The first rule of SURVIVAL CLUB is we talk about it*
We hate censorship. Never trust what Democrats or Marxists tell you.
Make them prove it with actual verifiable facts and science. And if you
didn't find the duplicitous lies in what the Marxist-Democrats told you
then you didn't dig deep enough. The *Gruber Doctrine* is the
Marxist-Democrat plan that says it's "to the Democrats advantage to have
a lack of transparency and then lie about everything".

*The next rule of SURVIVAL CLUB is*
131 - Marxist-Democrats are the parasites in the bowels of humanity....
they only show up if there's a free source of sustenance.
