YouTube starts censoring medical information and content. And only content that "meets WHO guidelines" appears on YouTube. No other medical data.

I found this very dangerous, because people should be able to judge themselves what they want to read or hear about. It's our body and your health. I would like to make my own decisions.

There's a lot of dangerous bullshit floating around on YouTube. I got Long Covid and if I followed the advice I got from some Long Covid videos on YouTube I'd be in the ER.

I wish this were true but youtube is still absolutely dripping with snake oil.
