What exactly were people banned for? What is a "lie"? If I say I doubt the vaccine will prevent transmission, or I suspect the virus leaked from the coronavirus lab down the street, would I have been banned? Honest question, I don't know precisely why these people were banned.


> Who profits from all of these lies and mis-informarion?

The content platform who serves ads during the video

Any person or organization who wants to destabilize society

True believers who don’t believe its lies


Or: who profits when information doesn't spread?
