Why? The guy credentials is psychology as far as we are aware. Was he speaking about the isolation in the pandemic? Maybe he had a point there. Was he talking about anything else? Where's his research on the topic?

In the pyramid of evidence "expert opinion" is at the bottom for a reason.

No, it's because nobody was talking about Jordan Peterson. There are other well credentialed scientists who were censored, read the sibling-parent comment. Bringing him up as a scapegoat and then using that to mewl about how people are babies for being concerned about disenfranchisement of opinions is bad faith at best, a straw man argument, and inflammatory.
