1ºI'm shocked and appalled by this decision! Misinformation about the election has been at the heart of the attack on democracy in this country. This is unconscionable and I completely disagree with YouTube's reasoning that, somehow, removing this misinformation didn't have a significant impact on the "risk of violence or other real-world harm". Studies have proved the opposite. I'd understand changing their policy from a blanket ban to a more targeted one to increase effectiveness but this complete reverse of policy makes no sense. I hope they adjust their policy again asap before too much damage is done. https://dangerousspeech.org/publications/ and https://www.cartercenter....nd-big-tech.pdf #IAmHereUS
