It's an interesting observation (and one which predates social media) but I'm struggling to see grasp whether you are suggesting that there is a practical implication for this debate. Is there a justification for censorship? I don't think people who advocate for a market place of ideas are denying that there is often a low signal-to-noise ratio in such an environment. The point is that sometimes that chaos is the only way for the signal to be heard at all.
