Of Freedom, Country and Vaccination

And now we are reaching all out conspiracy theory talk. Maybe I have to bring out the flame thrower. I have a lot of concerns when it comes to social media platforms but this is taking it way to far. Flagging or calling out misinformation is not censorship if it happens on a clearly factual basis. For example medical misinformation (made up death totals for vaccines, COVID not spreading among asymptomatic and more) or things like flat earth talk and other conspiracy theories.
What we should be concerned about is how to make sure that any potential review system isn´t abused. Or as of now is in the control of unknown interest groups.

Flagging or calling out misinformation is very different from suppressing, deleting, banning and then attacking and punishing.  
Very, very different. 

If the platforms were simply calling out and flagging that would in fact be an extension of free speech because the public could examine what was said, what evidence was or was not presented and determine if it were called out or flagged legitimately in the minds of we the people. 

The actions of suppressing is far more dangerous than any misinformation itself could ever be.  We the people never get to see the debate, the dissenting information and we are left to simply trust the fact-checkers that determine what is or is not misinformation. 

The final step is to simply make those that put out the misinformation simply, disappear.  Oppressive societies and regimes are well known for that.
