Is there a censored fallacy?"Social media are censoring conspiracy theories, therefore the conspiracy theories must be true." People X are censoring people Y, therefore what people Y claim must be truth. |

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

The claim is essentially that social media companies don't want their users posting facts and things that are true. This is just ridiculous... and a non sequitur The fact that something is censored, does not mean that it is true and the one censoring does not want the truth revealed. Although that is one reason for censoring (like a private company removing complaints in comments from their website), there are many more legitimate reasons. The reasons needs to be established with evidence, not simply asserted. |
