The examples the company cited include "promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11."

Not saying it’s a hoax but a lot of strange **** about that situation

They've been programmed by grifters to believe that the vast majority are "sheeple" and they are the enlightened ones. McClellands old need for affiliation. When actually the complete opposite is true. Same for these idiots whose whole life seems to be getting offended by everything. Theres no studying done. A 10 minute youtube video or quote mine is enough to convince some and send them down a rabbit hole. Its all too reactive. And all the same, likes a bunch of clones. 5G, Bill Gates, Vaccines, Soros, open borders blah blah. Will be something new next week when that "market" is saturated. A lot of social media addicts with no real desire to learn, with no patience or attention span yet very vocal and angry and just looking to "win" on an issue. Not a good combination. Youtube are doing the right thing. They're helping the bewildered people who believe this stuff more than anyone else.

You state this opinion as fact as do your cohorts.
nullzero wrote: » One of your ilk blamed conspiracy theory video as for anti Islamic violence in India at the moment, when in reality you don't need to study modern Indian history in any sort of depth to understand that religious persecution is part of life in that country. So what do we learn from that exactly? Well it comes back to confirmation bias, if you start out with a stance on a subject that stance will inform everything you see in relation to it.
nullzero wrote: » Everyone is guilty of this, but some are less capable of admitting fallibility. People have every right to be sceptical about 5G if they wish to be, modern history shows a multitude of situations in which new technologies or inventions turned out to be harmful to humans, we don't have a great track record as a species in that regard. Profit often outweighs public safety and as a result people are sceptical about things and rightly so. Are you suggesting we let our guards down and allow big business to do as it pleases?
The Nal wrote: » Broad sweeping generalisations too but a lot of truth in there. I know people like that. I dont know who my "cohorts" are. Im neither pro or anti conspiracy, left or right. But I do like the odd fact and the odd bit of evidence or even proof. Again, "my ilk". Not sure who that is. You have ignored the burning of 5G towers. Thats a direct result of these theories. Its dangerous. The people who did it are obviously thickos who need protection from themselves. It worked for radical Islam, it can works for these morons. Absolutely not. I'm all for info though. Some of these conspiracy nuts are so sure than 5G is the devil, that it started this virus, thats its to be used to control people. And theres no evidence to suggest this is the case. Like I don't really care if 9/11 was an inside job or not. I've no skin in the game. In theory its more than possible. Same for the JFK assassination. I would love for that to be proven as a conspiracy. But theres no evidence. Same for 5G causing all the things it causes/will cause. Or nearly any other big theory you could name. So yeah, I'm fine with a private company banning nonsense, misinformation and lies on their platform. Some guy waffling on for 2 hours with his paypal link in the video description is not good because unfortunately some people are too thick to realise they're being had.
nullzero wrote: » Your ilk or indeed cohorts are people such as yourself who post regularly on this forum who take a easily understood stance on the topics at hand. My apologies for any hurt feelings I may have caused, I would suggest that a simple search through your posting history would clarify my simplification of your opinions on this forum. The same search through your posting history would suggest you do indeed have "skin in the game" in relation to these topics. The pretence that you have an open mind on these topics can be easily dismissed as a result. I also never ignored the burning of the 5G towers, in fact I directly referenced it by saying I do not support it. For somebody who is "all for info" reading and comprehending a short post seems to have eluded you in this instance, something I'm sure was a momentary lapse of sorts for you, you would typically miss something so obvious I'm sure.

nullzero wrote: » Religious persecution tends to not require social media conspiracy theories to inflame it, the undercurrents of hatred involved in those situations tend to be omnipresent, can we definitively state that social media conspiracy theories are to blame for religious persecution in places where religious persecution is a fact of life at the best of times?
