> COVID-19 has added the additional element of this new concept of "disinformation". The argument is seductively simple: "being exposed to this information could lead you to engage in patterns of behavior that harm society. Therefore we can conceptualize this speech as being an indirect form of violence/negligence and therefore we have a moral obligation to remove such content".

Which is actually extremely funny, since Youtube directly links to all WHO content as it were the Word of God, and WHO just a month and a half ago was crying on all rooftops that masks were useless and should not be used before completely reversing their stance. So by their own standards WHO is propagating disinformation/negligence and harming society as well.

Looks like they haven't changed their stance, so not sure what you are referring to: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...

Wouldn't you want a health organization to be able to quickly adjust their advice if needed, if new information has been found? Or if a fault in the old studies or information has been found? Or how would you have them behave instead?
