So in your logic anyone can say whatever they like and there is no control at all, so lies can spread by malicious actors. I disagree and value this minimal control when exercised properly with checks, which is the case in europe

If people cannot be trusted to distinguish between information and misinformation, and you are a person, how can you then say that you have determined that the BBC documentary Modi has banned is not misinformation? Either people have to be shepherded through the library or they don't.
I didn't determine, but the BBC has a well deserved reputation as do its journalists. Also if Modi had nothing to hide, why these persecutions as opposed to focusing on disputing alleged facts with evidence
