I was opposed to removing Confederate statues. I felt they should be left in place but the plaques should be replaced to merely mention their birth and death dates and that they had committed treason against the United States but were forgiven after the Civil War.

I would suggest the same for these videos. Place an non-editable and non-removable preface that states none of the assertions in this video are verifiably factual and the video should be considered as a work of fiction...




Wildly different comparison you're trying to make there my friend. Statues on public land very different than a private business doing whatever it wants.


I think the idea is the same. Instead of censorship, simply attach an indelible warning. Free speech but not without informed comment...
