Nah, deplatforming does work. Slick grifters exploiting fear for clout and ad revenue will be hit hard by this.

So silencing and banning them, doing to them the very thing they proclaim big media is doing, is better than trying to educate them. Youtube is doing the very exact thing those right wing lunatics accuse them of doing, and then when they go spread their ideas to more uneducated people, they throw this front and center, "they silenced us because they want to control what their people hear".
The last thing you want to do is give their bullshit any validity, and silencing and banning them when they proclaim that "big media will silence us because our message is not the message they want told" gives their bullshit validity.
Educate and make people better.
i would put a lot more faith in people not being able to read the "this video is straight up a factual lie and misinformation" so i'm totally cool with youtube outright blocking that shit. people are too stupid not to click and just want to absorb the first thing they see on a gigantic brand like youtube.
And before anyone asks, theres a big fucking difference between outright banning accounts and demonetizing / removing from recommended videos.
Lol nah. At this point I'm the pandemic no. They'll only be saved when it happens to them and their lives are sent into turmoil.
If you saw all the anti-lockdown, anti-vaxport, anti-mask protests in Canada the last 10 weeks, you'd think there are millions of people across the country in support of getting rid of all the mandates here.
The PPC was the political group that preached if they were elected they would get rid of all mandates, COVID is a joke and its time to get on with your lives as you were born to. They wound up with about 800k votes (albeit, still a big number, its still a shade under 5% of the total votes) and their leader couldnt even win his own riding.
Correct, because the problem isn't that they don't know the truth, the problem is that gleefully lying is profitable. Alex Jones and Milo went from being kings to barely relevant because of deplatforming, and obviously trying to "educate" Alex Jones about how gay the frogs actually are is pointless.
agree about deplatforming. get them out and that small minority will just cry to themselves in a corner. you can't reason with those guys. and educating people to try and make them better is tremendously easier when the middle of the road guys who could go either way don't have any facebook mom researchers in their ears.
it's the right move.
I don't have a problem with it.
No one who is already anti-vaxx is going to have their mind changed, but maybe someone who isn't will never find the rabbit hole to go down.
