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?

That young man must feel so bad for this to be his moment. I hope it doesn't overshadow his other accomplishments.
The reporter? He’s shown himself to be dishonest. In a similar style to Baghdad Bob. When reporters lie then there careers should be over.
*edit- he doesn't seem to mind though
To all the other Brandon’s out there, You’re welcome!
Let’s go us

The meaning and intent of the lyrics are open to interpretation, but I think the latter part of the lyric implies political commentary rather than medical commentary.
Also, I think we need a tighter definition of "medical misinformation." Is it to promote anything that is medically harmful? Well, then why can musicians sing endlessly about drugs and unsafe sex? What about videos on non-fda regulated vitamins and minerals, or weight loss solutions? Surely most doctors wouldn't advise taking recreational drugs, or jumping on to the latest weight loss magic pill.
And yes, YouTube is a private enterprise. But we can still, as a society, openly dialog on what we think is wrong with their practices.

I could argue that this "pandemic" is not of actual severity sufficient to require the responses; and "it ain't real" is an opinion being voiced, which is more important than a duty to "protect the public from misinformation". But I'm not. The proper counter argument to this Stalinist "you can't say that," bullshit is to keep saying it, louder. I would also like to quote NWA: "Fuck the Police"
> this Stalinist "you can't say that," bullshit is to keep saying it, louder. So you don't dispute that it is disinformation. Is idea that is that someone refusing to host disinformation is a good reason to disinform, louder?
And I dispute the repute of those labeling things "disinformation", specifically.
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?

I dispute that disinformation or not is a reason for censoring it. And I dispute the repute of those labeling things "disinformation", specifically.

> 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.
> saying that vaccines are fake and don’t work But that's not what he's saying, is it?

OK, that has nothing to do with YouTube censoring content and proving a false excuse why...

This is actually a different rapper, the article is referring to Bryson Gray. Either way, I don't see the medical misinformation. https://genius.com/Bryson-gray-lets-go-brandon-lyrics

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.
A case in point is Christina Bobb, who works as a propagandist for OANN under 1st amendment journalistic protections, but showed her true colors on Jan 6 by working with Rudy G and John Eastman at the Willard to overturn the election result. At that point I think she is no longer entitled to legal protections afforded journalists.
