Oh noes, youtube is woke, free speech tirade, etc.

YouTube blocks all anti-vaccine content

YouTube will block all anti-vaccine content, moving beyond its ban on false information about the COVID vaccines to include content that contains misinformation about other approved vaccines, it said in a blog post on Wednesday.

Examples of content that won't be allowed on YouTube include claims that the flu vaccine causes infertility and that the MMR shot, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, can cause autism, according to YouTube's policies.

The online video company owned by Alphabet Inc is also banning channels associated with several prominent anti-vaccine activists including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Joseph Mercola, a YouTube spokesperson said.

Seems to me this is a loophole for the anti-vaxxers to keep their disinfo going :

YouTube bans all anti-vaxx content — not just misinformation about COVID-19 shots

YouTube's ban of all content claiming commonly-used vaccines are harmful or don't work marks a major change in how it moderates potentially harmful content.

YouTube previously had banned false information surrounding the coronavirus vaccines in October 2020. The company said it will still allow discussion around vaccine policies, new vaccine trials, and personal accounts of receiving the vaccine.
