This is part of the problem I have with the narrative that you must allow completely unfettered speech on any platform. That you should fight lies with the truth.
That sort of argument ends up going completely out the window when you have bot accounts spun up by the thousands designed to artificially boost certain narrative for the sake of profit or to sow dissent. Much like managing your lawn, you can't let the weeds grow and expect other plants to simply out-compete them when the weeds choke out everything else around them. Unfortunately that seems to be an inevitable problem on any platform that prioritizes userbase growth above all else.
