This is unacceptable in any democracy or a so-called public platform. In Latin America there's many newspapers, compared to the US, there are newspapers that still publish very bloody images in the back-page (drug cartels hits, accidents, etc), others which publish naked girls, others about anarchism, religion, local news/events mostly free. As a citizen you understand the spectrum of what quality journalism is vs the kind of crap that comes in all those publications mentioned before. Government or official journalist groups don't block them, just because the information is mainly false. This is a basic value in a democracy. Problem I see is that online platforms want to fight disinformation as a problem when is not a problem is the way the world operates. Humans have something called intelligence and people can distinguish a quality publication vs another one and even if not, is ok to read all types of things (as long as they are within the law). Problem is that Google and Twitter just publish what fits in their agenda. (Check PragerU case vs Youtube)
