Lets bring it back to that specific example someone brought up, which is vaccination. Do you think it a good thing, personally, for less people to be vaccinated?
Do you think censoring people would help encourage vaccines?
The key point here is the treatment of those opposing certain views as clearly stupid and in need of protecting is toxic and non-productive. Is Joe Rogan a mindless Trump-voting retard?
You're not going to reach people by silencing creators - you're just going to make their viewers feel prosecuted, angry, and confused. They'll just move to other platforms and probably vote for Trump again...
The way to reach them would be through dialog etc. which is getting more impossible by the day.
It was a simple question. Do you want less people to be vaccinated?
The other person suggested that less people might be vaccinated, and your response was to talk about "bad think", and "changes or influences others", where the specific topic is "changes or influences others" to cause less people to be vaccinated.
This implies that you, for some reason want less people to be vaccinated, and that it was a good thing to "changes or influences others", in such a way as less people get vaccinated.
> other person suggested that less people might be vaccinated
And I am suggesting more people might get vaccinated if they are treated as intelligent and allowed to engage in dialog instead of being shadow-banned and removed.
I am saying its a good thing that videos are allowed which encourage people to not get vaccinated or contain information about vaccines not coming from a news network, because the alternative (censorship) is barbaric and unhelpful.
But that would be bad if that happened right? If people got encouraged to not get vaccinated, that would be bad?
> is barbaric and unhelpful.
You think that it is barbaric that a dislike button is not available on one single platform? Because that is what the other comment was about. It was about the dislike button.
It was not about videos being removed en-mass. Instead it was about a dislike button, on one platform.
