"Who gets to control what to censor?"

It's YouTube's platform. They can censor anything they want and use whatever metrics they want to do that. The right to free speech doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want on social and video platforms. It means you have the right to walk out into a public space and scream at the clouds all day long. It means the press cannot be muzzled.

And, yeah, you're correct that some conspiracy theorists will continue to seek out the conversation that satiates their irrational thought process by visiting 4Chan, 8Chan, Infowars, etc... to get their conspiracy fix, but mainstream websites don't have to assist them.

I applaud these kinds of efforts by YouTube and Facebook.

First they're sweet, then they're sour.

Based on 505M people, 22,000 deaths would be roughly a 4% mortality rate; however, and this is a huge HOWEVER, the half a million coronovirus cases are probably the tip of the iceberg and not an accurate number due to the severe lack of testing. Also, according to Johns Hopkins' numbers, the mortality rate in the U.S. is 1.5%, vastly lower than the worldwide average (of course, again based on confirmed cases and to real numbers).

I'm sorry people who don't like opinions other than their own marked your comment "troll". It's their only way to vent. Your comment is relevant and rational. The U.S. looked to help finance 25 different international companies developing vaccines -- not to mention we have our own promising test vaccines right here. But, hatred for Trump... well, trumps reason. Oh, and I didn't vote for Trump. I just believe in facts.

For those who may think otherwise, the U.S. Constitution prevents the government from making laws regulating free speech; A private entity can choose to shut you down any time they please. You have no right to your book being sold at Barnes & Noble or on Amazon.com. And, frankly, I'm surprised these books were allowed to be sold on those sites in the first place.
