Why do you think that people will automatically listen to the most relevant, clear, researched, reliable, unbiased voice? Lots of people end up listening to loud, angry, biased voices that say a lot of bullshit. We see this with things like the anti-Vax movement.



The premise of our society is that it's not the law's job to make sure everybody only believes true things. That's a rather Orwellian idea.


1. The law isn't involved in this, this is Youtube changing things. 2. The law gets involved with factual stuff all the time. You can't sell pills and make certain claims about their health effects, you can't print a newspaper and slander people, etc.
