i think a very real problem people face is its hard to discern what is reliable information (information overload, earned mistrust in "mainstream media", environment/culture, etc)

Banning "misinformation" makes all non banned information suspect.
yep, i think this is a very real paradox

banning misinformation might work short term, but longterm i suspect it will further harm things... long term credibility needs to be won back the hard way me thinks...

I agree. We're in the Misinformation Era, which is precisely why even the "official" sources are not to be trusted.
