i disagree with censoring. but i want to pose a question. if i have q WordPress blog on a $5vps, and you post a comment saying my blog post is stupid. its my vps,im paying for it, i can delete the comment if i want right? where do you draw the line? how big exactly does my blog have to get before this is considered big tech censorship?
> where do you draw the line? When you have lobbyists working for you.
Article goes out of its way to avoid saying what's actually in the song or video.

No, 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…
Its a bad song and I don't want to listen to it to get all the lyrics. [0] >Pandemic ain't real, they just planned it, ayy, ayy (They just planned it) >Biden said the jab stop the spread, it was lies (I remember) That is all I can see as far as "medical information" goes. What a joke. This song is bad, it would have fallen off the charts if they just let things go. [0] https://mychords.net/en/bryson-gray/157414-bryso…
Check this song out, it gives practical advice for carrying out burglaries. People have screamed and kicked but YouTube won't remove the song.

> Pandemic ain't real, they just planned it probably that part?
I'm not much of a modern rap music person, however, by the 90s rap standards this doesn't seem that inflammatory.
I have 0 problem whatsoever with large, public information clearing houses suppressing anything that is counter factual during the emergency.
If they were taking down information about a doctor challenging Health Authorities in a very Scientific manner, that would be something else.
And of course, we have to make sure that we do come out of this 'crisis' and that institutions don't use it as a means for perennial control, but I'm not really worried about that. We're all sick of this and as COVID passes out of reality, people just won't care what people have to say about it, just like any other mundane subject.
So once COVID has passed, we can sing dumb songs about dumb things, if they take them down then, I suggest that would amount to undue censorship.
Get Fox News links off of HN. Even this seemingly innocuous article is pure manipulation
All news is manipulation. The only difference is how you are being manipulated and by whom.

I disagree that we’re talking about rights at all. I think the issue is really norms and expectations. Do we really need to invoke the heavy hand of law and government as the ubiquitous standard for what is acceptable?
Where is law/government involved here?
As Chesterton argues to the contrary "To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it."
Uh. The video that says vaccines don't work on covid, and talks about Joe Biden's death conspiracy? Why are ... why are we quoting Fox News credlously again? Has HN not learned, yet?
I see that for shorthand that the whole response wasn’t managed properly as the “spread” still happened.
I don’t think it’s a fair criticism of Biden, but it’s a rap song, which tends to encourage a bit of hyperbole.

> Biden said the jab stop the spread, it was lies (I remember) How you woke, but you haven't opened your eyes? (You ain't see) I mean, I know there are pockets of people who believe that saying vaccines don’t work is telling the truth, but broadly speaking, saying that vaccines are fake and don’t work is considered misinformation related to medicine.
He didn't say they didn't work? He said it was lies that they stop the spread. We now know of vaccinated people dying of covid, some right after being vaxxed, some months after, some after getting a second dose. The lyrics can be interpreted a few ways. Was the vaccine then supposed to absolutely stop the spread and give absolute protection to a vaccinated person?
He said vaccines don't work. You also said vaccines don't work. And that's just simply not true.
