First they came for the anti-Semites.

Then they came for Alex Jones.

Then they came for the flat-earthers.

Now…

BBC:

Many YouTube channels pushing anti-vaccination conspiracy theories will no longer get money from adverts.

On Friday, YouTube stopped serving ads to lots of popular channels that promote such views.

It took the step following protests from firms who discovered their adverts were running alongside the controversial videos.

The World Health Organization said anti-vaccine views were a “top 10 global health threat” in 2019.

The video-sharing site said it took the step because many of the anti-vaccine channels were promoting “harmful or dangerous ” views.

“Any misinformation on medical topics is especially concerning,” it said in a statement.

Alongside the decision to remove ads, it said it was also trying to make “more authoritative content” easier to find on the benefits of vaccination and was also stopping anti-vaccine videos appearing in recommendation lists.

It was also planning to create “information panels” on pages that listed sources where people can fact-check information for themselves.

How long do we have before tech giants switch to their next target?

That is, how long before they go after anti-abortion videos?  

They could make the same argument that they did for the anti-vaccine videos and the Alt-Right before them. Get them kicked right off.

Harmful or dangerous views” is a big tent. Lots of people and opinions could fall under it. The anti-abortion people are easy targets because if the World Health Organization is calling the shots for what kind of information is allowed online now, then they’ll just say that arguing against abortion is a health risk for the mothers and therefore harmful and dangerous content that should be banned.

This is not a far-fetched scenario anymore. It’s in the pipeline now.

Furthermore, YouTube wants to promote “more authoritative content.

The better phrase to use would have probably been “more totalitarian content.

And the agenda creep is measured in months now, not years.

That means that we might have the EPA or the people running the Climate Change ™ scam start demanding that YouTube start taking down videos that are “harmful or dangerous” to the planet. That means global-warming skeptics.

Every single alternative narrative that is skeptical of the mainstream will eventually be silenced.

I bet even the Vegan Occupation Government will get in on this scam sooner rather than later and start demanding Youtube ban videos of people having fun at a barbecue.
