The Trump administration complaining about "harboring misinformatioN". The ironing [sic] is delicious [1].
There is no universal objective truth. Specifically there are things that reasonable people can disagree about and the same set of facts can be used to argue different positions. This fact is abused by the mentally challenged to argue ridiculous positions (eg anti-vaxxers, the Moon landings are fake, that sort of thing).
Likewise, as seen here, one side will argue those who disagree are engaging is misinformation (and in the Trump administration's case, from the President down there are multiple claims per day that are demonstrably false such that no one can really keep up). The agenda is to silence the opposition and undermine confidence in any sort of news.
ISPs were given safe harbor from liability for traffic on their network, for good reason. They just need to comply with certain standards. Tech companies really are no different and to argue otherwise would set an incredibly dangerous precedent (IMHO).
