Hook, line and sinker.

Explain why.

If Google said food was right-wing you'd starve yourself to death.

I'm on the site now. Anyone can sign it. You just tick a box to say you're a medical professional.

😂

Isn't this the thing that was signed by loads of homeopaths and people called stuff like Dr Firsname Secondname? I read that if you take out all the obviously made up names and anti-vax climate deniers there was only one name left - some guy called Professor Andrei Cookies or something.

I don't use Google.

You're letting yourself get distracted by side issues...why is it being censored?

You do know it's headed by scientists from Oxford, Harvard and Stanford...not academic enough for you?

Is it being censored? You've just posted the link here and I can click on it and read it.

Is it being censored?

Yes

If they're good at what they do then fair enough. That doesn't alleviate my concerns about them being involved with a think tank that prioritises so-called "free" markets.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

That's how easy it is to throw people off the scent.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

You've stopped thinking because of a word that gives you the shivers.

 

[IdleRich]

But it's been in the news loads this week.

 

[version]

I haven't stopped thinking. I'm reading it right now. I'm just skeptical. We wouldn't be in half the messes we're in now if it weren't for right wing free market types.

 

[IdleRich]

Mostly I'm seeing stuff about all the flaws in it and the made up names and stuff but saying it's being censored seems... a stretch. No, I mean it's an outright lie.

Good. Maybe Google should consider taking it off their blacklist.

I don't believe they're concerned about public mental and physical health. Sounds like they're losing money and want people back in work as normal.

No. Top hit on Bing: the declaration's own website. Google's search results for the same are a bunch of idiotic hit-pieces.

 

[IdleRich]

But I just googled it and I got a million hits. It's probably just your internet bubble that is confirming your prejudices by tricking you into thinking it's being censored and getting you all hot under the collar. Very clever how these things work.

Who is 'they' here, exactly? Sounds like you have privileged access to their thinking too.
