And somehow, because you feel uneasy with Russian propaganda, you feel entitled to deny my right to consume and analyse it?

I feel a democratically elected government it entitled to deny your right to consume such propaganda, although I don't understand why you would want to.
I feel that there are things that democratically elected governments is not entitled to do, like denying my basic human rights, which include my right to inform myself about world affairs from sources that do not align with said government's desired narrative, especially so when such methods could lead to a population making democratic decisions on falsified or misleading information. Manufactured consent is just as dangerous as allegedly fake news from outside actors.
Yes but if the autocrats win you will have no rights period.
And that's why I so vehemently argue against them.
You mean like democratically elected Hitler's Nazi party government?
