Do you think it's a good idea that this administration gets to decide what is and isn't acceptable speech? That's one of my points. So regardless of your positions on Covid and the 2020 you shouldn't celebrate this move because the government shouldn't have this kind of influence.

Oh, absolutely, I don't think this move by Google has anything to do with them being some kind of staunch free speech supporters. It's an obvious and rather pathetic attempt to suck up to the Trump administration, which itself is cancer when it comes to rights and freedoms. I'm no COVID denialist either.

I just don't think that "there's no point debating a Nazi" is, in general, a good argument in favor of censorship, whether public or private. It's one of those things that have a good ring to it and make some superficial sense, like "fire in the crowded theater", and then you look at how it works in the real world...
