Censoring scientific information to me feels like a continuation of science's replication crisis.

The tooling for all classical techniques seem to have been broken as of late, getting rid of critical thinking for free speech, and replication for science.



It's anti-scientific information that's being censored.


Always has been, always will be. The devil’s in your choice of church.


Science as I know and love it offers no basis for labeling anything "pro-" or "anti-scientific", although "unscientific" seems like fair game


Anti-scientific would be actively opposed to the discovery of truth through the scientific process.


Agreed. Science itself has nothing to say about that though, and I fear castigating everyone to "believe the science" and censoring antiscientific opinions are two deeply counterproductive activities, in that they give people the impression that that is indeed what science is about
