To demand censorship of free information is an inherently authoritarian policy. Perhaps even the most authoritarian demand of them all, or do you have other examples?
To err on the side of freedom remains the correct choice. I am not saying that there are no negative social media platforms, I just say that there is no authority on the correctness of information and everyone is entitled to form their own opinion. And I am sure I won't like some of these opinions either.
Hitler had a massive and extensive censorship machine. People were afraid to say the wrong things. That today some people believe freedom of expression is the cause of his rise is misinformation itself and a huge educational gap. But true, the dynamics are more complicated if you look into it more closely, but in the end resolve to the same conclusion.
