There is a difference between genuine alternative views and just cultish conspiracy content created for clicks that defies any law of physics - is it reasonable to recommend a video from someone who argues the lockdown is not warranted? Why not. Is it reasonable to recommend someone who denies the existence of the virus and want's to sell you his quack treatments? I don't think so.

No, they are saying that having a discussion about how to deal with the pandemic is a little more above board than someone arguing that it's a 5G conspiracy.

It was a little above board to argue that the Earth wasn’t the center of the universe at one time, and it was fervently argued, dissenters were dealt with harshly.

Not saying there is a logical equivalency here, but this type of thinking is exactly why free speech is important, not why it’s dangerous.

Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are removing some posts and videos from Bolsonaro.

Yes, absolutely. The man is causing obvious harm and danger.

Yes 5G masts are the cause of covid and need to be all burned down. Vaccines causr autism. Bringing your kids to the doctor is harmful, give them bleach anemas.

No harm in spreading lies and absurd conspiracies, right?

Two of the 3 things has been portrayed by the President of the US on Twitter. They are not censoring him.

Additionally, no harm? Movies encourage terrible behavior as well, but we are not trying to ban them on Netflix. If there is a movie where they glamorize alcohol or unprotected sex, there is no effort to have them removed from streaming platforms.

At one point, saying the world was round would have been an absurd conspiracy. Just because something appears and most likely is inaccurate, doesn't mean that we should have a central fact checking authority. That is some 1984 stuff right there. People can make choices for themselves and do their own research. There is no law preventing people like Sandra Bullock from telling people that baby foreskin is good for their skin, even though most people would know that is disgusting.

i keep an ear/eye on things, and there really aren't many saying that 5g causes covid. it's straw manning really. little bit like the autism thing. there are issues with vaccines that are worth looking at, but people like to lump things into groups, and yeah, even lump it into 'wrongthink' and surf the cognitive dissonance with sarcasm.
