I don't believe social harmony is a sufficient reason for censorship or that censorship is the correct approach. There are many potential remedies including.
- Mandatory content identifiers tags on content/claims for unfactual or unverified reporting reaching more than X people.
- Identifying frequent reporters of misinformation and identifying them as such when presenting/resharing information.
- Reducing the spread of misinformation in algorithmic sources such as newsfeeds/search rankings.
None of these approaches removes or censors the content, but they do identify it and help place it in the appropriate context. In the 90s I had to go looking for claims that the president had dinner with aliens every Tuesday, today such news articles are pushed via feeds.
