Before any free speech absolutists dive into this with the free speech stuff, please be aware that we are being inundated with misinformation spread, especially through social media, by bad actors who are doing this purposely, with great effort and effect. This issue is not about individuals being able to freely discuss ideas. This is about protecting ourselves from bad actors who have dedicated enormous resources to poisoning the information space so that we are unable to debate ideas on the merits anymore. Once you come to believe that misinformation is not about people holding bad ideas inadvertently but is about bad actors attempting to harm people, you take a different stance. That is the stance I hold.
