We should never forget that Galileo almost burned for spreading what was "misinformation" back then. The science WAS in the hand of the church (whatever little science it was), so he was actually going against "scientific" consensus. I'm sure many more were actually burned, but I'm no historian. Misinformation isn't harmful in itself, what is harmful are the choices people make based on that (mis) information. That's what legislation should fight, that's what society should fight. Instead of censorship, how about more information, more education? People, even antivax and the like, have a good measure of cognitive capacities. We should strive to educate and inform them, and accept that some people are just gonna think differently. If they are 5%, well, that's alright. Maybe one of them is the next Galilee.
