They aren't "disagreeable ideas".
They are lies.
When there are people who believe the lies, and it endangers the public safety that they do, taking privately owned platforms away from them is NOT censorship.
The operators of those platforms have no obligation to disseminate anyone's lies.

Free speech is important but so is stopping misinformation and lies.

...without looking.. I’ll assume enough free-thinkers have set you straight to the point I don’t have to try

We are entitled to our own opinions, we are not entitled to our own facts. If you state something that is factually false, you should be prepared for the repercussions. If you repeat something that is false, then you should be shut down since you are a threat to an educated society.

It is sad and ironic how so many who claim to be rational free-thinkers also support rampant dissemination of blatant misinformation and scream censorship when it's removed from social media for being false content and violating their community standards. Free speech applies to government censorship. Private companies have every right to hold people to standards when they engage on their platforms. There's no current cure for Covid-19 and anyone claiming differently is lying and misinforming the public. There's a huge difference between disagreeable ideas and blatant lies.

That video has been disproven and it is misinformation. Guess you want to believe some bullshit doc who preaches about demon seed causing gynecological problems and get meds with Alien DNA

Two deeply embedded misconceptions in what you say here.

Firstly, individuals and private platforms are fully entitled to establish their own standards and not to publish, transmit or even listen to 'ideas' they do not wish to. To compel these things is the very opposite of freedom of speech.

Secondly, rational freethinkers recognize that not all ideas are the same. There are objective standards of truth that apply to epidemics, climate change and many other issues. Imagining that every 'idea' has the same value or should have the same hearing is not freethinking but dumb obedience to an ideology.

Many of the 'ideas' promoted by the political right are not ideas at all, but barely-disguised incitements to limit the freedom or even to violence against groups of people they hate.

It’s not censorship when someone keeps spouting the same old debunked ignorant anti whatever crap and I turn the channel. So a creationist demanding to rant at a college and turned away is hardly censorship. Same for most fascist right wing horse manure. Not having to endure yet another tired justification for trickle down is more like mental health than censorship.
Besides that the vast majority of censorship has been from the right wing, and from religions. Try being LGBT and demand equal time on Fox News. Except the free thinkers don’t whine and cry about it. That’s primarily a conservative thing.

“Nanny state” does not apply to private social media platforms. There is a huge difference between the government censorship and censorship by private companies.

I'm suspicious of people whose posts are always divisive and insulting.

It is unreliable, false and misleading information that is being censored, not "disagreeable ideas"

Like who?
I have access to anything I want. So do you.
But like I enjoy going back and forth from MSNBC to CNN to Fox News, I gravitate towards msnbc because I'm a democrat, you too have the option to watch your choice. Just because I regard your platforms as paranoid delusion doesn't mean I don't watch some of it. It's hilarious! Bill Gates putting nanorobots into vaccines? Hahaha.
Anyway, continue. Great entertainment.

In the context of the First Amendment, a business deciding whether or not to share or allow certain words or images is not censorship any more than you or me not allowing certain words or images within our own homes.

For example, If I say you can't display a Nazi flag in my house or my business, that's my right. If I say that you are not allowed to buy or read "Mein Kampf" then I am violating your rights. Huge difference between those two ideas.

A fairly well known atheist has stated that "My goal is to believe as many true things as I can and disbelieve the false things". The difficulty is in determining which category a given proposition falls into.

I want us all to be able to make that determination on our own. The concept of some anonymous thought police is abhorrent to me.

Some people believe there were good people on both sides at Charlottesville. I am not one of them.

What is really sad and ironic is that you consider yourself to be a free thinker.

A Texas-based doctor whose declarations about using hydroxychloroquine to cure COVID-19 were retweeted by Donald Trump has a long history of supporting conspiracy theories, it has emerged.

Dr Stella Immanuel, 55, shot to fame on Monday when the president retweeted a video featuring her appearing in Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress.

In the video - which has since been removed by Facebook, YouTube and Twitter - she promotes the discredited coronavirus remedy, hydroxychloroquine.

She attacked 'fake doctors' who doubt the efficacy of the drug, and claimed it's a 'cure', adding 'you don't need a mask.'

'If some fake science comes out and says we've done studies and they found out that it doesn't work, I can tell you categorically it's fake science,' she said.

'I want to know who's conducted that study and who's behind it. Because there is no way I have treat 350 patients and counting and nobody is dead.'

She said she has treated patients with hydroxychloroquine along with zinc, and the antibiotic zithromax.

Donald Trump Jr was also impressed by her speech, noting on Twitter that it was 'a must-watch'.

Immanuel, who runs the Fire Power Ministries in a strip mall next door to her clinic in Houston, was born in Cameroon and did her medical training in Nigeria, The Daily Beast reported.

On her Facebook page she describes herself as: 'Physician, Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur, Deliverance Minister, God's battle axe and weapon of war.'

The church's 'beliefs' section on their website - which has now been taken down - says they are against 'unmarried couples living together, homosexuality, bestiality, polygamy, etc.,' Heavy reported.

One sentence in the profile reads: 'Her attitude toward demonic forces has been described as cut-throat, a warrior to the core.'

Immanuel is also a 'wealth transfer coach' and believes 'you can be saved, anointed, fire brand and wealthy too.'

A mother of three daughters, Immanuel reportedly studied medicine in Nigeria between 1984 and 1990.

In November 1998, Immanuel began working as a pediatrician in Alexandria, Louisiana.

She has been a physician at the Rehoboth Medical Center in Katy, just west of Houston, Texas, since October 2019.

She received a medical license in Texas eight months ago, in November, according to state records.

A Nigerian website, PM News, reported that Immanuel did a residency in pediatrics at Bronx-Lebanon in New York. It was unclear when.

She then interned under Dr. Babatunde Dosu, a Dallas-based Nigerian pediatrician.

It also stated that she holds medical licenses in Texas, Louisiana and Kentucky.

Immanuel founded the church in 2002 and has given sermons attacking progressive values and promoting conspiracy theories including 'the gay agenda, secular humanism, Illuminati and the demonic New World Order.'

She has claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches.

She alleges alien DNA is currently used in medical treatments, saying: 'They're using all kinds of DNA, even alien DNA, to treat people.'

In a 2015 sermon she declared that the Illuminati are promoting a plan hatched by 'a witch' to destroy the world using abortion, gay marriage, and children's toys.

Immanuel claims the Magic 8-Ball toy is in fact a scheme to get children used to witchcraft. 'The 8-Ball was a psychic,' she said.

'There are people that are ruling this nation that are not even human,' Immanuel said, before launching into a conversation she had with a 'reptilian spirit' she described as 'half-human, half-ET.'

In another 2015 sermon she said scientists had plans to install microchips in people, and develop a 'vaccine' to make it impossible to become religious.

'They found the gene in somebody's mind that makes you religious, so they can vaccinate against it,' Immanuel said.

Immanuel warned that the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana was a gateway to evil, because its character had an 'alter ego.' She has claimed that schools teach children to meditate so they can 'meet with demons.'

She also urges that 'children need to be whipped'.

The doctor warned her flock that gay marriage meant that 'very soon people are going to be seeking to marry children'.

I agree. Even if it is misinformation and lies, people who think those are valid ideas can express them.

This also gives the other members of society the ability to express their ideas regarding verifiable evidence, and rationality.

Suppressing false or even disagreeable ideas drive the dialog containing those ideas in to underground echo chambers where they can be fortified.

Sometimes the disagreeable unpopular notions can even be the ones that are eventually accepted as right and just .... you know like racial integration, interracial marriage, equality for all people, voting sufferage for women. ... ALL of these were disagreeable, unpopular notions at one time and were even suppressed and censored.

Free speech is important and it includes freedom to express unpopular and distasteful ideas.

You're sad

And most of them hold weird, incorrect views that they refuse to let go of. Even in the face of factual information.

Some of the craziest shit ive ever seen.

If a social-media user (you? ) BLOCKS some-other-user, is THAT censorship ?

PBuck0145:
To block from one's on viewing is acceptable. To block others from viewing is censorship.

FearlessFly:
@PBuck0145 "block others from viewing" -- Blocking others from viewing YOUR posts AND comments, then, IS censorship.

HOW MANY have YOU censored ?
