Platforms shouldn't fight the last war. If fighting misinformation and papering over all disagreement get conflated, we won't be in a good place. Have y'all ever seen the way real scientists argue things out? It's very different than quackery or selling vitamins to "cure" COVID.

A quick clarification saying that will solve the problem. It’s not a minor concern—it was so hard to publicly contradict the WHO at first, even with evidence. I saw stuff taken down for advocating for masks because it got conflated with other things.https://twitter.com/kellyscaletta/status/1252736098268299265 …

I get that. I couldn't find the video elsewhere, and be that as it may, I don't want trolls and anti-vaxxers to claim this mantle. There is an evidence-based anti-misinformation case against making WHO into The Oracle while also fighting the quackery.https://twitter.com/ilrosso_/status/1252742782453678080 …

She says the context is only fake cures, not WHO in general. Also, the original tweeter is clearly acting in bad faith, but I couldn't find the longer video. I will look it up and will either delete and retweet without the first video or better, be wrong!https://twitter.com/KellyScaletta/status/1252748921329397760 …

Okay, deleted top tweet (the quoted person is not against misinformation or quackery). Here's the longer video. I'm still not convinced that YouTube will only remove fake cures if they contradict the WHO and would really like to see some clarification.https://www.cnn.com/videos/business/2020/04/19/inside-youtubes-numerous-policy-changes-during-the-pandemic.cnn/video/playlists/business-reliable-sources/ …

Weird for
@YouTube to take this stance given their crazy inability to keep out child pornography...https://stratechery.com/2019/youtube-and-toxic-videos-youtubes-problematic-incentives-sins-of-omission-and-commission/ …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Can we, though? I was criticized as a pundit for saying that the WHO was wrong about droplet-only transmission. I was also criticized and told I was giving “dangerous advice” for suggesting that the entire population should wear masks in public, when the CDC was saying otherwise
-
I recall being accused of fearmongering for clicks because my advice (while based in science) went counter to the WHO and CDC advice at the time (they’ve since changed their positions).

WHO is still saying that recovering from Covid-19 doesn't necessarily give you temporary immunity which I think most scientists don't agree with. They seem kinda biased towards being 'conservative'.

Another WHO 'No Evidence' stance that will likely prove to be incorrect (cc:
