Unpopular opinion: I don’t like this. Would much prefer that ideas compete. Id sort of give Amazon a pass since, unlike twitter, Reddit, Facebook & YouTube, it doesn’t make many promises regarding the free exchange of ideas. But still.

#13It would be better to leave them up but force a disclaimer to scroll along the bottom the entire doco proclaiming factless and fictional in nature. I don't think hiding from these issues is the appropriate response. Nor is pouring gasoline on the fire fueling these conspiracy theories.
Isn’t there an in-between of doing nothing? Asking Amazon to publish an opinion is a pretty big ask. At least deleting the item doesn’t necessarily imply a position.

Silencing ideas is not the way to correct them...
It's one thing to hold a belief in a certain threshold for freedom of speech. It's another thing to state without evidence that it has better outcomes.

It's not an opinion.

Much of the pro-choice argument regarding abortion is based on the idea that you own your own body.
My kids get vaccinated, but I sympathize with the anti-vaxxers arguments regarding governmental force.
