Re: When does misinformation become information?
The fact that they have taken two years to come off the fence shows that they have thought about this point too. For far too long, in my opinion.
In common with many wringing their hands in doubt over vaccines, you appear to be worrying about the splinter and ignoring the log. There are no risk free options. Yes, there is a non-zero risk from a vaccine, just as there is a non-zero risk that real information will be caught in Google dragnet. However this must be weighed against the risk of not being vaccinated, or the risk that Youtube would otherwise be peddling misinformation directly leading to peoples deaths.
You don't get to avoid this choice, and you have to make it with uncertain knowledge. Life's unfair like that, I know. Google have made a choice, it's the right one, and it would have been the right one 18 months ago. It seems they were wringing their hands too.
