YouTube Forbids All Anti-Vax Content in Stunning, Orwellian Nightmare
Compelled vaccination is the big topic these days. I have myself been vaccinated but forced medical procedures are a very dubious idea. Do we now not own our own bodies? There should be freedom to discuss that at least
The technological oligarchy has arrived, ladies and gentlemen, and our freedom of speech is eroding in rapid fashion.
YouTube, the world’s most popular video sharing website whose entire existence is dependent upon making ad revenue off of your content, is now refusing to allow anyone to upload anything that even so much as resembles an anti-vaccine sentiment.
YouTube is taking down several video channels associated with high-profile anti-vaccine activists including Joseph Mercola and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who experts say are partially responsible for helping seed the skepticism that’s contributed to slowing vaccination rates across the country.
The ban was widespread.
As part of a new set of policies aimed at cutting down on anti-vaccine content on the Google-owned site, YouTube will ban any videos that claim that commonly used vaccines approved by health authorities are ineffective or dangerous. The company previously blocked videos that made those claims about coronavirus vaccines, but not ones for other vaccines like those for measles or chickenpox.
And so, where the Constitution guarantees us free speech, these enormous companies have consolidated enough bandwidth to render our rights moot. This isn’t democracy, nor is it freedom. Not in the least.

*****************************************‘It's not woke': Calls for more change to cricket lexicon after batsman dismissed
Christina Matthews, one of Australian cricket's leading administrators, has a blunt message for those put out by the game's move to gender-specific terminology: "get with the times, or get out".
The Western Australia Cricket chief, and multiple World Cup winner Lisa Sthalekar have welcomed the dismissal of the terms "batsman" and "batsmen", and called for further change to the game's lexicon.
The Marylebone Cricket Club have sent the gendered terms to the pavilion, officially amending the laws of the game by replacing them with the gender-neutral "batter" and "batters".
The move has been criticised on social media as political correctness by some, including prominent UK media identity Piers Morgan, though male players and coaches have increasingly used batter instead of batsmen. Former Australia great Ricky Ponting regularly used the gender-neutral term during his reign as captain in the 2000s.
Traditionalists may have to get used to more change with terms such as "third man", "12th man", "nightwatchman" and the "maiden" now under the microscope, though these are not officially recognised by the game.
The fielding position third man is commonly referred to as "third" by commentators, a term Matthews and Sthalekar supports. Similarly, Matthews is also in favour of the 12th man being shortened to 12th, and the nightwatchman turned into the "nightwatcher".
Matthews says the term maiden is problematic. Applied in cricket to describe an over where no run is scored, it was historically used to refer to a girl or unmarried woman, or a female virgin.
One term Sthalekar would like to see binned is the "man of the match", to be replaced with the "player of the match".
"We don't say woman of the match, we say player of the match, so why not use the term across both? I hate that," Sthalekar said.
