    YouTube bans vaccine misinformation.
    The Verge (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 81% • 2 min read

    YouTube said that it won’t allow videos that claim vaccines approved by health authorities are dangerous or don’t work. YouTube will still allow videos that include people sharing their personal experiences. It’ll remove that content if the channels they’re on “demonstrate a pattern of promoting misinformation.”
    ...
    The platform will also allow videos with information violating the policy if that video includes other context, like statements from medical experts. The platform is also banning the “Disinformation Dozen,” a group identified by the Center for Countering Digital Hate as responsible for the bulk of misleading claims about vaccines on social media.
    ...
    The new policy expands to block misinformation around other vaccines, including the flu shot, the HPV vaccine, and the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Videos that inaccurately claim that the MMR vaccine causes autism or that the flu shot causes infertility, for example, will not be allowed under the new policy.

Context: Senator Elizabeth Warren will oppose Fed chair Jerome Powell's second term due to apparent lack of regulation of big banks

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - The only 'stakeholders' that Wall St. banks and almost every other American corporation acknowledge are shareholders. They ignore the impact their decisions have on our country as well as the impact on their own employees, both of whom are very legitimate stakeholders. Congress needs to amend the law(s) concerning corporate stakeholders.


No - What we need to do is remove the safety net. The problem is the implicit guarantee the government writes on their stocks and bonds. ...



Unsure - I've worked at wall street banks, for years, and the regulatory environment is complex ...
