Banning right wing conspiracy theories would not have been a political issue 5 years ago. There is nothing intrinsically leftist about this. It turns out that one political party and its propaganda outlets favour disinformation designed (by foreign adversaries) to provoke political violence. This party only has itself to blame.

Anything becomes political as soon as a politician talks about it. So things being 'political' do not transform them into sacred cows.

Exactly, the world is not that polarised that anyone not agreeing with right wing conspiracies is left wing.
