This is actually a different rapper, the article is referring to Bryson Gray. Either way, I don't see the medical misinformation.

#22No, it’s not because that. It barely has a “verse”. They just don’t like the traction it’s getting and the anti narrative it promotes. If it were F@ck Donald (whatever) and everything else the same it would still be up. The rest is nothing but naked excuse. There are so many medically misleading things on YouTube —just look at dieting. They cause harm. Let me see them pull those. Nah, they won’t. Honestly, I think “P…

I mean, it is "their" democracy too. Also, advocating for corporate censorship is not helping to stabilize democracy, it is eroding one of its foundations: the ability of citizens to freely express themselves.

Meh. It's a private platform. They don't have to give any excuses for blocking a video. Is it de facto censorship? Maybe. But I think we as a society agree that social media platforms have a responsibly to censor harmful content in order to protect the public. Would we have wanted social platforms to give a voice to the "American First" movement of the 1930s? [1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4GyYPLHlwA

Of course, it's part of democratic debate. Remember America stayed out of World War 2 until Pearl Harbor. Lindbergh's argument from the video you link is completely reasonable.

#25thank you, google/youtube, for helping me to keep my mind closed and comply.

Well there is the crowd chant which sort of kind of sounds like “Let’s go Brandon” if you have hearing problems, but insofar as I can tell they don’t also say “horse paste.”
I had to look up what the "Let's go Brandon" chant was; forgive me for being crass, English isn't my first language but it sounds like they're saying "Fuck Joe Biden". Judging by the comments in the video I saw, I think that is what they're actually saying rather than encouraging the young man being spoken to by the person with the microphone.
You heard correctly. A reporter said it was "Lets go Brandon" in stark contrast to obvious reality, and the originally Ironic and now more widespread adoption of that has confused the situation further.

#27Were there other lyrics besides "Let's Go Brandon"? If those contained disinfo, perhaps that is why.

> The single line referencing COVID is this: "Green light, mandate
Inaccurate. The line "Pandemic ain't real, they just planned it" is also referencing COVID, and pushing a false and dangerous conspiracy theory about it.

The "Let's go Brandon" thing was an almost comical attempt by the news reporter to try to cover up what the chant was.

#29Has anyone actually seen the video and not just read the lyrics on genius ? Maybe the video itself is what actually caused the ban ? I haven't been able to find it myself but maybe worth considering. Ew. I just defended YouTube.

Mostly just the rappers waving their hands around and showing their guns.

I don't know a gentle, polite way to point out that you've hit every platitude in its most thoughtless, vacuous form:
- You can still disagree with a private company
- We as a society are thoroughly divided on that, and many disagree that issues of rights and morality are decided democratically
- Political speech you disagree with has value
