> Pandemic ain't real, they just planned it probably that part?

YouTube's bar for "medical misinfo" ladies and gentlemen...

What is the substance of your argument: that the "pandemic" is not a medical matter, or that "ain't real" is not misinfo?

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

> 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.

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.

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…

Given that their ai have spotted this that is actually quite good. But yes it is a joke.

Why assume anything?

Because it's the basis of doing literally anything. Why did I walk out and get in my car? Because I assumed it would start and be capable of driving me somewhere.

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

Definitely. Just because you disagree with something doesn't mean it should be censored.

Tech bros are now the gatekeepers of information for hundreds of millions of eyes (not just youtube, also google search manipulation, facebook algos, arguably outlets like netflix...maybe not Amazon yet) and here about half of the western world is cheering on the suppression.

How can someone place so much trust in this suppression without even seeing what's being censored? Is it just a deliberate blissful ignorance? Are these people really so naive from the comforts of modern western living?
