Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was among those celebrating the return of dangerous political nonsense to YouTube this week.
The far-right Georgia Republican retweeted YouTuber Tim Pool, who in his own tweet remarked favourably on the platform’s loosening of restrictions on sharing known falsehoods that have had dangerous public effects, such as lies about Covid-19. Among the false claims listed explicity by Mr Pool included, “Masks cause brain damage”, “Masks cause lung cancer”, and “COVID-19 no longer exists”.
