Salman Rushdie did not die – but Western liberty and free speech might.#Woke censorship in America, with its legion of activists, is on the path to becoming just as intolerant, unhinged, dogmatic, and puritanical as the men of faith that hunt Rushdie.https://t.co/31S8k7ObGt

Cites “unintended effect of curtailing political speech”
In an interesting plot twist as we wade deeper into the 2024 election cycle, YouTube on Friday announced it will stop deleting content arguing that “widespread fraud, errors or glitches” affected the 2020 or other past presidential elections.
“In the current environment, we find that while removing this content does curb some misinformation, it could also have the unintended effect of curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm,” the platform said in a blog post.
The policy change elicited howls from the left, including an Orwell-flavored protest from an advocacy group called “Free Press.” The group’s Nora Benavidez told AFP that YouTube’s “dangerous decision to immediately stop removing content… which continues to sow hate and disinformation that threatens our democracy must be reversed immediately.”
YouTube gave me a strike and deleted my video for showing election fraud claims from both Dems & Repubs—just raw history, no commentary… https://t.co/4NvpTTLnAK pic.twitter.com/OFMPVTPLAH

“Can anyone guess why that’s happening?”
A message from Steve Kirsch:
I’m blocking people who spread what I will call “real misinformation” or who resort to diversionary tactics when asked a simple question. While it was fun engaging with them, they would always change the topic when I asked them a question they couldn’t answer and they don’t understand simple statistics, e.g., a 0:48 odds ratio being criticized as needing more samples. This is time wasting for me. If you find a legit error, I’m more than happy to admit I’m wrong and fix it. Gorski is time wasting but he has a decent h-index and is a master at deceptive content, so I keep him around because it’s always a fun challenge for me to see the techniques he uses to twist the science to make it look like he’s smart. Unfortunately, he doesn’t directly answer my questions when I point out the flaws, so he may get on my block list soon as well.
