Well, YouTube can't really stop people from being stupid.

Of course they can't, but they conceivably could reduce the spread of material that stupid people are going to use to hurt themselves (or their kids).

You mean more censorship

Ugh, I am so tired of people making this argument every single time something horrible happens and people suggest, you know, DOING something about it.

First off, they don't have to censor, they could just stop recommending these videos, and that would help a lot.

Second, if you seriously can't see why a for-profit corporation restricting content that literally leads to children being poisoned and dying isn't anywhere near Orwellian, then I am afraid that we have nothing further to discuss.

Ugh I’m so sick of people ignoring the brainwashing of the populace via media control
