Earlier this month, YouTube said it would remove videos containing misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and would expand its current rules against falsehoods and conspiracy theories about the Pandemic. It also revealed it's removed over 200,000 videos containing dangerous or misleading COVID-19 information since early February. No wonder the World Health Organisation says the world isn't just fighting a pandemic, but an'infodemic' as well. As The New York Times recently put it, we are facing "the mass distortion of truth and overwhelming waves of speech from extremists that smear and distract". The problem, allege citizen data scientists: the infodemic isn't just crazy people talking to each other online, which in 2020 is basically BAU.
