Everyone talking about free speech and censorship needs to hold the fuck on for a second... because context is about to play a huge part in this:

If I was selling arsenic on amazon and labeling it as a cure for cancer would Amazon be in violation of our right to free speech for pulling it? If I was selling mentos, but labeling them birth control, would that be censorship if amazon pulled it?

This is supposed to be medicine and it’s fucking lies. This is safety and soundness, it will hurt you or your children.

If I’m selling you a cure for something, and that cure is BOTH harmful and does not work, then shutting me down isn’t censorship that’s fucking public safety. It’s even responsible for fuck’s sake.
