The internet is increasingly getting censored. Boldened by the recent deplatforming of Alex Jones and Donald Trump as well as censorship of news that doesn’t fit their narratives has created a slippery slope.

It’s time to take a hardline stance against censorship. If we don’t do it now, future generations will never forgive us.

Future generations won't even know.

People complain about misinformation and censorship (on Hacker News of all places) but where is it?

I found the video by searching on YouTube

Why exactly is this being upvoted?

Give me a break.

I don't know if it's been debunked, but I like the analogy of the Hygiene hypothesis and increased allergies. If you disinfect and sterilize everything you don't train your immune system and are at risk for allergies, but if you don't disinfect and sterilize you get infections, so you need to find a balance.

Same thing here, I think we're heading into the over-sterilization area of the curve, and maybe we should think about what the "food allergy" analogue is for people who grow up never seeing a single controversial idea expressed ever because all their media is sterilized.

I would flag this submission for misinformation, but then those ideologically aligned with the tweet would claim even more "censorship" and double down on their incorrectness. This is why dealing with wrong information, lies, and misinformation on the 'net is such a tough nut to crack.
