On the one hand, good on them for removing conspiracy theories and harmful fake medical information. This is an important step to preventing this kind of abuse and grifting.
On the other hand, “discouragement of professional treatment” is pretty vague. In a world where there are such massive issues within psychiatry especially, with forced clinic stays, abusive “therapies” like conversion therapy, irresponsibly administered medication and plenty of bigotry within the medical community when it comes to hot issues like intersex people, trans people, narcissism or schizophrenia, discouraging some people from going to that is an important part of disability and mental health activism.
I hope this will not be used in that way.
