To think that a few months ago, sharing this article would have gotten someone banned from Facebook for sharing "conspiracy theories".

Indeed. The whole thing needs to be looked at. Someone somewhere decided that the topic was taboo and needed to be purged from the internet, and then someone somewhere decided that it was ok that the tpoic gets to see the light of day.

It's all quite sinister.

Youtube is still censoring this topic. Two well known scientists testified before congress on GoF testing and the Corona Virus characteristics. That was pulled down within a few hours. I save all these videos but no idea what to do with them.

[Edit] I found a copy of the coverage posted by Forbes [1] and as a matter of correction it is the GOP House Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Select Coronavirus Crisis hearing

This is hilarious and ridiculous. How can they justify censoring testimony in Congress?

Supposedly it is not in alignment with the Trusted News Initiative (TNI) [1] or so people say. No idea if that is the real reason.

[Edit] In this case I am thinking maybe Forbes had exclusive coverage and the other videos were pulled down for not having the rights to coverage. Just guessing because their upload is 3 days old.

Well, they recently did this too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27646686

I don't know if it's following their policies to the legal letter or if there's something else going on, but it's clearly bad in both of these cases.
