Social media platforms have to comply with local political pressure (both official and unofficial), so they are somewhat forced to. Do we really have any governments that will allow people to judge for themselves?

I can understand a government's hesitancy to do that, because if the whole society believes the same mistruths (especially about history, politics etc.), it is more stable and productive than one which has people at odds with each other over what they consider the truth to be.
