While it is a noble goal, we've seen in the past few years how susceptible people are for disinformation. Just see how many people absolutely ate up Covid/Vaccination disinformation. See how many people are still ignorant about climate change and believe the bullshit they're told by the fossil fuel lobby. Or even more fundamental; see how many people are susceptible for advertisement - it's basically the same.

You'd wish that people were critical thinkers. But that's not what our consumerism-oriented media landscape has been working towards in the last 50 years. Quite the contrary; "buy, so everyone will like you!" We've been trained to be brave little consumers and to eat up our daily share of capitalistic propaganda -eh- I mean advertisement.

The economic incentive to create as many mindless and uncritical consumers as possible has left much of the population unable to think for themselves.

So, before you can have your censorship-free utopia, you first need to raise the level of informed and critical education. And that's not going to happen while the economic interests need the population susceptible for advertisement.
