How does censorship help any of those problems?
I can think of two recent examples where it failed, bitterly dividing the country:
1. in the case of the Hunter Biden laptop, a media organization was censored based on false allegations of “misinformation”; and,
2. during COVID, people who said authoritarian policies were a bad idea were censored — including medical professionals; resulting in devastating but only marginally effective authoritarian policies.
How, specifically, do you only censor “wrong” speech — without in practice just giving special government powers to the people who manipulate speech in the pursuit of personal power, eg Fauci?
