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:

Image
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 Image
The original COVID-19 policy URL is now automatically redirected to the new URL for YouTube's expanded misinformation policy. The original URL is archived here: /4

NEW - CNN Admits X Balanced, Not "Right-Wing"

But during the election, news outlets, including CNN, misled the public into believing Twitter/X was a “far-right" "echo chamber” "Nazi cocktail party".

/1🧵
Nov. 19, CNN reported Twitter/X's userbase “matches the overall electorate far better” in 2024 than when Musk bought it in 2022. But the data shows something even bigger: Twitter/X now has the most politically balanced user base of all major social media platforms. /2 Image
Funny, just five days prior, on Nov. 14, CNN reported that Musk was "turning Twitter into a far-right propaganda machine". /3 Image

Kamala Harris' call to ban Donald Trump from Twitter initiated a period of unprecedented internet censorship. 🧵/1 Image
During her previous failed run for President, Harris promised her government "will hold you accountable" for "misinformation", threatening tech companies with consequences if they don't "police" their platforms for "hate" and "misinformation". /2
The next month after then-Senator Harris threatened the tech companies, Twitter announced it would start labeling tweets with "additional context and clarity". Trump's tweets would later become the first labeled in this way. /3 Image

NEW: The American Psychological Association (APA) is mis/disinforming kids with its new kid's book, on mis/disinformation. 🧵/1

True or False? The Science of Perception, Misinformation, and DisinformationImage
The APA engaged in a real-life conspiracy with the CIA to bolster Bush-era torture. Now its new children's book seeks to “prebunk” young readers from investigating conspiracy theories. It also misinforms kids on other topics including racism, gender, and the COVID-19 pandemic. /2

Lesson #1 COVID Doctors Never Lied

"During the COVID-19 pandemic," the book says, there was "seemingly conflicting information from scientists".

"Seemingly"? Ha! The messaging was completely contradictory. Trusted experts lied about masks, vaccines, & the virus's origin.

NEW REPORT: DNC Disinformation Program lists factual reporting and satire as "disinformation" 🧵/1 Image
In a video uploaded by Democratic Party strategist Simon Rosenberg in 2023, Tim Durigan, the DNC's lead disinformation analyst, shares a PowerPoint with a sample intelligence report that provides a rare inside look at what the DNC sees as "disinformation".

(highlight added) /2 Image
The "Cognitive decline" disinformation intelligence report lists content the DNC calls "out of context" & "deceptive".

But nearly every video and article listed is factual reporting, while the rest is opinion & comedy.

Let's go through each example, 1 by 1.🔍

EXCLUSIVE: In a newly discovered Zoom recording, the Biden/Harris team reveals how they manipulated voters to think Biden's mental decline was "disinformation". 🧵/1 Image
Biden/Harris digital director Rob Flaherty says the DNC created a program to detect, track, and censor what it deemed "misinformation" (like Biden's mental decline). He calls it "critical" and "one of the more important decisions" made by the party in recent years. /2
Emails show Flaherty carrying out the (supposedly) counter-misinformation program in the White House, pushing Facebook to censor Tucker Carlson for correctly saying the COVID-19 vaccine didn't stop transmission, and Tomi Lahren for her strong "my body, my choice" stance. /3 Image

Why are these names redacted from the White House / Facebook meeting notes? The public must know who decides what content is censored online for there to be any accountability.

"Rob" = Rob Flaherty - Biden Digital Director, now Harris '24 Deputy Campaign Manager
An internal Facebook brief noted that it was “reducing the spread of content” that wasn’t violating Facebook’s policies but that Facebook thought “could lead to hesitancy.” Image
