The problem that companies are trying to navigate is how to keep speech as free and open as possible without permitting state-sponsored disinformation operations to fester within the platform. I agree that individuals should have the right to believe what they wish, however heinous their opinions may be. But it's clear that social media platforms are very powerful credibility launderers that give nefarious actors an incredible amount of power in shaping public discourse, and we can't ignore that either. We have to take disingenuous efforts to pollute discourse by malicious actors as seriously as we take protecting genuine speech.
