If it's repeatable, why does it deserve to be censored? Science is empirical, if it can be measured, measure it. If you can re-create it, do so. The very nature of it being "replicable" means it is worth publishing and discussion.

Modern social media has ruined many careers unnecessarily. The mob mentality sometimes wins and destroys people that it shouldn't. Social media can be as much a disease as a benign influence.

Because a lot of what we think we know might actually be false. For example the empirical idea that there are two biological sexes. That is false, despite seemingly being well established:
