    What is with these vague, open-ended questions with no effort put in to try to provide any detail or literally anything to engage with?

    Now instead of answering your question I have to ask a bunch of questions myself:

    • How, exactly, are they wrong?
      • Are they merely incorrect?
      • Are they actively spreading disinformation?
    • Is their speech causing harm? If so what kind?
      • Is it direct and measurable like hate-speech or incitements to violence?
      • Or is it something vague and nebulous like ‘decadence’ or ‘societal harm’?
    • Who decided that they are wrong?
      • Experts?
      • Moderation teams?
      • Bureaucrats?
    • And most importantly, who is doing the censoring?
      • In what form?
      • With what authority?
      • In what medium?
      • For what purpose (actual, not stated)?
