> That’s what censorship is. A small group of people will decide what is considered misinformation and will censor everything that goes against that This is not censorship. Censorship is stopping you from expressing your thoughts. Not publishing your thoughts is not. You can say whatever you want but no newspaper is in any obligation to publish it. Similar with social media, you can write whatever you want on your personal "page", but they are under no obligation to make sure it reaches other people's feed.

"but they are under no obligation to make sure it reaches other people's feed.." Nice euphemism for censorship. Social media is common people writing and reading. And they choose which people to follow etc. "stopping a post to go viral" means in this context activily manipulating and interfering what information does and does not reach other people. That is something very different than a newspaper refusing to publish a certain article.
