STOP TYRING TO CENSOR OPPOSING VOICES

I don't think it's the job of Medium to try to control so-called ""misinformation". Misinformation is typically little more than political bias masquerading as altruism.

Medium has a BIG problem with being far too "Woke" and Liberally biased in their censorship.

I've seen Medium censor very well-researched articles on the pandemic that made excellent points based on hard science and quoted research from respected medical publications both in the US and abroad; but that were counter to the Democrat Party's control of the CDC's data at the time, data the CDC's have now walked back as "Ooops, we were wrong," or [insert excuse for their political bias here].

It is not the job of a truly free and open platform like Medium to attempt to "control" the free flow of information and thus promote the PROPAGANDA of one party's views over that of another.

If I post an article about the Falun Gong being persecuted by the CCP in China, will this get flagged as misinformation because I quote a source like The Epoch Times?

If Medium is to truly grow and become a platform of free speech and open communication of idea, then your top brass needs to realize that their Woke mindsets are not the only legitimate mindsets in the world of ideas and that being a political Liberal is not altruistic when you have to silence opposing voices like some fascist states indeed do.

Something to think about.
