My hot take about this is that banning this stuff before it spread would have tamped down on all the stupidity going around, but once people know about it doesn't really make a difference to ban it.
Banning what though? What is "misinformation"? Today's misinformation might be tomorrows facts.
This whole thing is really a group of people trying to jam their opinion down everybody else's mouth holes.
It is truly frightening to me how many people are so eager to shut down any kind of debate. The science around covid and it's mitigations are far from settled.
Why does that stuff need to be blocked or deleted? Most people, even very skeptical people, are smart enough to realize that stuff is BS.
I mean what is all this clickbait outlier crap the media feeds everybody about that one poor sick covid kid who died? Then everybody thinks that kids are dying all over the place when that isn't even close to true.

Define "most"? 20% of Americans believe the covid vaccine contains a microchip so they can be tracked. There are so many reasons that is even worse than thinking that it could cause you to be sterilized that I think anyone trying to claim "people know better" aren't being honest with themselves.
Not saying it should be. I prefer no censorship at all, including threats of violence, gore, naziism, pedo RP, etc. But giving an example of the sort of thing people are wanting removed.
