Judging what is and is not misinformation must always be in the hands of the people. Never the hands of authorities whether those be government or corporate.
Why must fight all censorship. Because once you allow "a thing" to be censored, it becomes possible to censor "any thing".
Things in the past which were labeled misinformation and would have been suppressed for even longer (or forever) under current social attitudes of censoring anything that might make us feel bad.
- Leaded gasoline poisoning all of the country.
- Tobacco is addicting and gives you cancer.
- Agent Orange caused US military health problems.
- PTSD is a mental health issue (denied since at least WWI).
Remember all the power/leeway you give to the "left" (or right) will also be misused when the "right" (or left) take power again.
