I misphrased it, the “good” result of imposing your biases I was referring to is preventing the spread of misinformation in places like Myanmar where genocide is rampant and amplified by social media. If there were no theoretical benefit, social media platforms would have never been pressured to start fact checking. Imposing your biases is a neutral action that can have good or bad results. But it’s not in defense of the truth.

What about anti-vaxers? Harmful misinformation isn't confined to places like Myanmar. I don't see how you can just say it's "imposing your biases" to fact check things. The fact checking may be influenced by your biases, but "vaccines are safe and effective" isn't a bias. It's the truth.
