Silicon Valley companies should censor more content?

No - that's not what they're saying.

If you want to, go read the respective acceptance speeches, in their original form. Actually the only relevant one (for this thread) is Maria Ressa's speech; Dmitry Muratov's speech didn't mention technology or the internet at all, despite what may have been implied in the NPR article.

As to Ressa's speach -- it's quite clear she wasn't advocating censorship, per se. A fair reading of what she was saying is that these companies should stop using algorithms that structurally promote hateful and inflammatory simply because it is more "engaging" -- as they have been caught doing red-handed, basically.

But that is, strictly speaking, different from advocating outright censorship of that material. In my view, quite obviously so.

Indeed. I think the actual entity to be scorned here is NPR, not the laureates. They seem to be twisting the meaning of the speech to promote some other agenda, and in one case outright fabricating the connection.

Is there a way to report this to NPR? Perhaps someone in charge of of journalism integrity

I believe this would typically be the ombudsman.
