AIDS deniers DMCA critical video responses

submitted by ChaosEngine

1 decade 2 months ago

So first up, apparently "AIDS denial" is a thing now. Not content with creationists, homeopaths, climate deniers and astrologers, now we have to deal with morons who think AIDS was invented by pharmaceutical companies or something.

Anyway, they made some ridiculous "documentary" called House of Numbers which is predictably riddled with the usual nonsense these kind of people engage in (cherry picking, selective editing, etc).

After youtuber Myles Power made a series of videos debunking their bullshit, they hit him with a DMCA takedown despite the fact that his rebuttals clearly fall within the fair use portion of the DMCA.

Details here:

And in other news, one in four Americans are unaware that the Earth orbits the sun.

I weep for humanity.

Aids was invented by shitty hygiene and eating monkeys

Parts 1 2 and 3 are back online, and the impending doom of his account being terminated might have passed as he is getting help from EFF

Fixed that for you.

EFF are awesome. One of the few (very few) groups I donate to.

Aids deniers?
I hope they get it, that'll teach them a lesson.

Looks like the DMCA stuff has stopped, but they found his Linkedin profile and are attacking im professionally now...which is probably worse

AIDS deniers???

That's even more stupid than bugchasing. People who are deliberately having unprotected sex with people who got AIDS, to get infected themselves. I don't know if you heard of this, but apparently this is a thing that exists (at least here in germany).

Well maybe not more stupid, but at least as stupid.
