I'm an evidence based health blogger but also a proponent of making social media relatively censorship free, so I have mixed views on this.
By deleting content we are not putting an end to anti-vax theories (some might say propaganda). We simply push the narrative underground and reinforce their beliefs that there is a conspiracy to hide the truth and to silence them.
What do you think?
I agree. It simply makes them go underground where they can't be monitored or contradicted. More importantly, having both sides presented allows for discussion and convincing people who are on the fence. With a one-sided discussion, there really is no discussion, thus no chance to change opinions one way or the other.
