 YouTube's new policy is that it will censor you if you disagree with World Health Organization. 

YouTube recognizes that WHO's "guidance" might change. But if it does, it won't be because of debate on YouTube. 

YouTube isn't a social media platform, it's a propaganda platform. 
 It saddens me to see Andrew Huberman's Wikipedia page attacked in a politically-motivated way to remove most of his scientific accomplishments and to add misleading statements like: "Huberman appeared on programs that frequently platform health misinformation". This is a dishonest misrepresentation of a legit scientist and one of the best communicators of science in the world. @hubermanlab deserves to be celebrated not slandered. He is a truly special human being, who is doing an invaluable service for the world. 
 No matter what you thought of lockdowns, everyone owes a debt of gratitude to @DrJBhattacharya, @SunetraGupta and @MartinKulldorff. 

Because science cannot function without free speech.

 The Canadian government, armed with one of the world's most repressive online censorship schemes, announces that all "online streaming services that offer podcasts" must formally register with the government to permit regulatory controls 
 When Trudeau's Liberal Party leaders said they would only regulate Big Tech social media platforms, they lied. They are now demanding that independent news media and even podcasters register to be regulated. Canada's crackdown comes as EU and UN-WEF demand ever-more censorship.
