So according to you it's the job of a functional government to select which topics are missinformation and can be seen or not by it's citizens?
Whose job would it be, corporations? Do you think the public was well served by anti-masker, anti-vax conspiracies being allowed to run rampant? Has the US benefitted from QAnon and Pizzagate being completely unopposed and sometimes boosted by social media?
How about no censorship? And you get to use your brain to decide. I like to live in a country where the government doesn't preselect which topics I have access to but to each his own, you can go live in the CCP or North Korea then.
