What do you think their real motivation is? Take advantage of this event to take their place as the Ministry of Truth and censor their way into being at the top of the New World Order? Or maybe they really just weren't happy with airing content at their scale that's practically guaranteed to help cause a lot of people to hurt themselves. (Or they think their advertisers aren't happy with doing that... which I think is pretty equivalent, because it involves people feeling the same thing leading to the same result.)
I try not to engage with people who go directly to snarky extremist characterization, as above. But yes, political agendas are a factor here, as is simple appeasement.
Who are they trying to appease? Trump? What agenda are they pushing specifically? "Don't get yourself infected or do ridiculous dangerous things to try to cure yourself"? Is that specific agenda bad?
