The truth and I have actually been harmed by censorship of this very topic. My aunt tried to send me a link to a video discussing this, wanting my opinion. Of course the link was dead by the time I tried to view it. Which required going back and forth, what's the title of the video, what author, oh that's the one, etc. In the end I was able to view it (my takeaways: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22797275), but obviously the better the censorship machinery functions, the more effort it takes to get on the same page to address misinformation! And blind blanket assertions that the whole topic is nonsense is just a path to increasing polarization.

Meanwhile the author of the video played with and mocked the censorship regime to market themselves. Spelling words out, writing them on a whiteboard, talking up how many times this information has been taken down, etc. The more a topic is censored, the more the nonsensical narratives look like forbidden knowledge. It plays directly into the conspiracy angle.

If something technological needs to be done to address misinformation, it revolves around viral sharing, filter bubbles, and most importantly basic scientific literacy. Swiping at the video hosting itself is an ineffective blunt instrument from the same exact toolbox that regressive dictators always reach for.
