I might too if it were a public utility. But even then, probably not considering the obvious harm this garbage has caused.YouTube bans all anti-vax videos

The controversy here should be that they had the ability to do this, and waited until now.
Good riddance.
YouTube is a private company, and they can do as they wish.
Then don't sat you champion or defend free speech........
This isn't a free speech issue. I'm defending YouTube's right to restrict what they allow on their platform. If the government was censoring it I would be against that. You might want to refresh yourself on what 'freedom of speech' actually entails, and what rights private companies have in allowing their platforms to be used by others. It's a simple concept, so it shouldn't take you too long.
YouTube wants to be able to cross reference people with Facebook and gmail, among other things. They want to be able to link people to a mobile phone number, from which they would have the ability to track 'persons of interest' through Google Earth.
I think YouTube hangs on to all of the uploaded videos blocked by copyright claim, so that eventually they can copyright those themselves, when the original copyright expires. They could also purge all videos that they don't want people to be able to see. I'm still experimenting with ways to try to post videos in forums that are on my own channel, but blocked from public view. I used to have a method that worked, but they made some programming changes to thwart it.
I recall one video critical of Feminism that required the viewer to sign in to their account, before it could be seen. Google and its affiliated sites want people to be permanently signed in to accounts, preferably with their real name, primarily through Facebook.
Most businesses have a five year business plan. Google's is 300 years, in which they would like to codify all knowledge from the entire history of Mankind. That might sound like a good idea, but not if you're someone living 300 years from now, and you have to pay Google to read, watch or listen to anything, and your choices are restricted to Google's approved list for the masses.
Google wants to rule the world, just not immediately.
I don't disagree at all . I had a guy text me one day saying all of us dummies are going to die because were vaccinated then his next text was watch this YouTube and he sent the video it proves what I'm saying. I thought to myself good grief what the heck kind of video on YouTube is brainwashing people to think the vaccinated are all gonna die. So I went on YouTube searching for more videos such as this pyscho stated and there were hundreds and hundreds. No word of a lie I call uber while my car was in the shop and the guy proceeds to tell me that masks kill people and he will not wear one in the car then he says he feels more comfortable if I sit in the front seat because social distance causes double the germs I said whoa whoa slow down champ its ok just drive as if im going to get into a conversation about im anti tax and vaccinate while he's behind the wheel ...so I said to him im curious about one thing ...he says what's that I said where did you get your info from he says its all over YouTube People believe in youtube like its the encyclopedia.SMHYouTube bans all anti-vax videos

“I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”
People like you are pathetic, trying to tell others what they can or cannot watch or believe.
It goes against basic rights that we in western society take for granted.
Holy shit you people are missing the forest for the trees.
The concept is simple. Misinformation is killing people and overwhelming our healthcare system.

Youtube is a private company, so they can do whatever they want. If you don't like it, don't use it. If you really don't like it then sink a bunch of money into starting an alternative.
Do we remember this US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision last year?
YouTube 'not a public forum' with guaranteed free speech https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51658341
I feel like the loudest elements of the extreme right (read: the troll farms and people they dupe) are a lot more worked-up about losing a platform they’ve relied on for their failed science misinformation campaign than they were last week when Wojcicki did her whole ‘Free speech is a core value for Alphabet, but it’s less of a core value than the one that justifies us stifling free speech in Russia by working with Putin against Navalny’ interview with Bloomberg last.
The action and reaction was entirely predictable.
I’m sure freespeechtube.ru or whatever the fuck will be there to help them with their eternal circle jerk.
Good riddance.

Misinformation eh ?
90% of what's on the news and 99% of what politicians say is misinformation but only certain opinions are labeled as such to silence certain people and views
Of course, you can back up those exact figures with scholarly research, right?
