BREAKING: YouTube no longer has a “Covid-19” policy but an expanded policy to ban *any* “medical misinformation” that contradicts WHO or local health authorities (like CDC) regarding substances and prevention, treatment, or denial of health conditions.

🧵/1

BEFORE/AFTER TODAY:

As usual, this policy will be arbitrarily enforced, as it "may not cover all [CDC]/WHO guidance," but rather only guidance relating to an ever-changing hidden list of "specific health conditions and substances"🤔/2

Today, the media regurgitated YouTube PR about its new efforts to censor “cancer misinformation” but the new policy is in no way limited to cancer. /3

WOW: The Jewish student who claims she was "stabbed in the eye" previously testified to Congress to shame Yale for not giving her a security escort...🤔

UNHINGED: MSNBC smears the Supreme Court after it ruled to not remove Trump from the ballot.

"Nefarious"
"An Alarming Message"
"A Power Grab in Every Way"
"An Emergency for our Democracy"

And despite the court's *unanimous* decision, MSNBC says it was "not really" unanimous, framing it as a battle of the sexes: "four women" vs "the guys".

🧵 1/5

MSNBC: The Supreme Court is "nefarious", "unprepared", "wrong", "lacks seriousness", & "undermines democracy".

2/5

MSNBC: The *unanimous* ruling was "an illusion" and "not really" unanimous"🤔

The Dumbest Snopes "Fact-Check" Of All Time?

At least 5 Snopes “fact-checkers”, including its founder, pushed the disinfo that COVID-19 could not have originated from a lab.

🧵 /1

Astonishingly, Snopes' David Emery tried to claim in a thread w comedian Adam Carolla that, “Snopes didn’t say the lab leak theory couldn’t be true.” /2

You may know Emery as the Snopes editor who got hammered last week for a now admittedly false “fact-check” that claimed President Biden did not embarrassingly wear a construction helmet incorrectly, despite Snopes’ own photographic and expert sources telling him otherwise. /3

WaPo repeatedly called Trump & Republicans "Rats" & "Vermin". Now they won't stop comparing Trump to Hitler for using the same dehumanizing language.

🧵/1

WaPo argues that “vermin” is a term used by “authoritarians” to “dehumanize” and “encourage followers to engage in violence”. That’s interesting, because, over the last several years, WaPo itself repeatedly called Trump and Republicans “rats” and “vermin”. /2

Washington Post recently published a whopping eighteen articles—six of them just this week, comparing Donald Trump to Hitler after the Republican Presidential candidates’ remarks comparing communists and fascists to “vermin”. /3

YouTube’s Misinformative Misinformation Policy🧵

/1

YouTube's "Harmful Misinformation" policy only applies to misinformation associated with stereotypical MAGA Republicans: “Pizzagate, QAnon, StopTheSteal” and “contradicting authoritative scientific consensus on the existence of and causes behind climate change.” /2

In other words, according to YouTube,

MAGA’s #StopTheSteal election denialism is “harmful” but not Democrat’s election denialism that “Russia Hacked the Election”.

🤔
