YouTube has stated they will ban content, no exceptions, that contains skepticism in the 2020 election, and they've started doing so. If you can't recognize this for what it is, it's not my problem personally, but it will soon be all our problem if enough people like you are willing to tolerate it.

(And yes, before you construct a strawman response, YouTube is within their rights to do this. But that has nothing to do with if it's something we think is morally correct to do, nor how we should think about the second order effects of doing so, and the dangerous precedents it sets.)

This is no different than how our country operated for the entirety of its existence. The major news outlets never made it a normal practice to help crackpots spread their theories.

YouTube has tolerated this for much longer than the never we previously had.
