Free flow of information is important, but not necessarily in any form. Eg. hate speech, which is pretty redundant. (The same slurs chanted for hours.) Similarly the same idiotic 2 bit memes and other forms of unfortunately rather effective propaganda is of little value after seeing the first few. How to even categorize and how to introduce friction against these is the hard problem of free speech. As long as someone contributes to a discussion that's valuable, even if their idea has a very low probability to be true/useful. But if they are simply repeating the same thing, they stopped contributing, they became noise.
