Yes - some of what you say is true - there is dangerous info.
The question is what is more dangerous? Having information running free? Or having a governance structure that decides what you should see or not?
I do not trust governments for sure. There is such a huge conflict of interest there.
"For the sake of maintaining trust with the people, we can't afford to let them know about such-and-such a terrible mistake we made". (Says government...)
Its just a fantastic excuse to take all sorts of unsavoury actions against you.
And let's not forget that government is just people trying to make money. Arguably the worst of us, or the people with most to lose, are the one's that seek these powerful positions.

We have far too many examples of the latter failing with horrific consequences, and some examples where the restrictions are annoying but not catastrophic. With the former, I don’t think we have any examples of info running totally free.
