View submission: COVID denialism and policy clarifications
Hah, of course you’re going to argue the “free speech” argument for that subreddit. Allowing free speech is good unless that speech is being used as a weapon. That’s why “conspiracy to commit a crime” is also a crime. Allowing people to freely undermine our medical system because they think they’re smarter than them is incredibly dangerous. Find me pathetic all you want but you’re just being a useful idiot. Arguing about free speech when the large issue at hand is misinformation. There’s a difference between censoring normal things like LGBT topics (that’s bad because there’s nothing wrong with LGBT) while censoring misinformation campaigns is part of the public interest in keeping people alive

You claim it's being used as a weapon. How?
You also claim it's misinformation. Prove it.
There are countless times over the past year that the people spreading 'misinformation' ended up being correct.
Fauci lied repeatedly, and you don't think that is using speech as a weapon? Doesn't matter his intent, he purposely mislead the public multiple times.
What happens when it's you being censored?
BTW the conspiracy subreddit was posting about the looming pandemic in December 2019. They had gathered evidence based on medical reports coming out of China.
2019 - they were discussing it. Do you know what people called it then? Misinformation.
What about when they said it came from a lab as early as January 2020? What were they called for over a year?
It wasn't because Trump said so either - he didn't state as much until much later. Trump stating so only cast a bad light overall because of TDS.
Go ahead; tell me it's misinformation while your only source is 'someone said so'.
If you went on the sub, you'd see that anyone posting without sources is called out repeatedly. So gtfo of here with your censorship, because that absolutely is something worthy of a civil war.
