An element to this this I'd like to see explored is how reliant some are on social media for most if not all their information. Said platforms already heavily tailor what individuals see in order to maximize engagement.
Not only is it significantly harder to debunk misinformation than to create it (i.e., Brandolini's Law), but there's a good chance on social media platforms that the types of individuals presented with misinformation from some party A will never even be exposed to the debunking information from some party B at all.
So, for many, they're effectively already in a censorship-rich environment. The idea that there is or has ever been a truly free exchange of ideas seems disingenuous at best.
