What if I deem your comment to be misinformation because it could lead to people developing capitalistic tendencies? Would you have a problem then?

You can deem whatever you want. You don't run HN, so its not really relevant.

But if I did run HN and had you de-platformed - would you be singing the same tune? You cheer for authoritarianism now, but what happens if the narrative shifts against you?

I mean, I have been told by HN that some of my comments weren't appropriate and I needed to stop making them and I did. So empirically the answer here is "yes".

You don't run youtube either, so why is what you think relevant?

For all you know it could be C&D letters, not all the vids have been stricken.

You've an obvious axe to grind, which is fine, but does not give you the right to dictate what is and is not misinformation, nor harmful.

I'm a different person. I don't have an axe to grind. I'm not dictating anything misinformation or not. Neither was the other person.

Then why would we be talking about videos YouTube removed for being misinformation?

I believe the statement made was "YouTube has the right to choose what they distribute". You also have that right. So do I. I don't need to run YouTube (or HN) to believe they have those rights. You or I can deem whatever we wish, and you'd be correct: it isn't relevant.
