1. That is not the point. Truly liberal and progressive societies should tolerate and be immune to disinformation without censorship.
2. What is known to be false now may be true later (and vice-versa). No matter how big the govt. or a company gets, it won't be omniscient.
3. Remember the well documented flip flop about masks. At one point, CDC/Fauci were the ones spreading disinformation. During the flip-flop, real information was censored. Also, the lab leak theory was initially ruled out to be 100% impossible and heavily censored, now the same folks are saying that it might have been possible.

- cscurmudgeon 3y agoSince the sibling comment has been flagged dead, I find it absolutely hilarious that the commenter who says "we should all touch grass" created a new account to just reply to this comment while sitting in a public park. Apparently, touching grass is not enough for them. > What’s really happening is a bunch of armchair philosophers are engaged in prosaic armchair philosophy about how much of a police state the world is Meanwhile here I am at a public park launching Estes powered rockets You all should go touch grass. Sedentary exercise or language faculties is not healthy
- croes 3y agoThere is no truly liberal and progressive society, and we are not immune to disinformation. And Fauci had a reason for that flip-flop. https://edition.cnn.com/factsfirst/politics/factcheck_e58c20c6-8735-4022-a1f5-1580bc732c45 https://edition.cnn.com/factsfirst/politics/factcheck_e58c20... What would you have done in that situation?
