The folks at YouTube, who think they know best, have updated their medical misinformation policy. IVM & HCQ are off the menu. Step out of line, censor cops strike. Legit medical debate is being squelched. Free speech is being stomped on by this monopoly.

COVID-19 medical misinformation policy

The safety of our creators, viewers, and partners is our highest priority. 

...

YouTube doesn't allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts local health authorities’ or the World Health Organization’s (WHO) medical information about COVID-19. This is limited to content that contradicts WHO or local health authorities’ guidance on:

(WHO decision seems to be a political decision - as Dr Andrew Hill suggested in a video presentation earlier, EU and other countries without a strategic stockpile of ivermectin need time to acquire such stocks)

Note: YouTube’s policies on COVID-19 are subject to change in response to changes to global or local health authorities’ guidance on the virus. This policy was published on May 20, 2020. 

(let's hope so)

If you're posting content

Don’t post content on YouTube if it includes any of the following:

Treatment misinformation:

...

Prevention misinformation: Content that promotes prevention methods that contradict local health authorities or WHO.
