These are the things where I believe we should change the culture. We should learn not to take claims on their face value. If everyone would do that, we would need no defamation laws or laws restricting free speech. All that would be just "noise". And my 3rd point was, we can maybe even automate such processing of information, for our own benefit.
I believe that the positive effect of not censoring stuff outweighs the negative effect of spreading misinformation, always. In other words, you cannot at the same time claim that people cannot distinguish misinformation and that they process it differently from truth (and therefore attempts to ban it will do more good than harm). And the idea of "free speech" in itself is a proof of that, so far.
