The antidote to disinformation is counter-information. The messy debates of determining truth are NOT through censoring one side because the information is deemed wrong, or a view ALSO shared by a foreign adversary, or inconvenient for the state, etc...
Bad ideas are countered by good ideas. The white house has a very large megaphone where they can bypass social media entirely.
Nothing justifies what they are doing. It's the most grave assault on the first amendment we've seen in the digital era, and even more frightening is the complete 180 liberals took on free speech in just 1 decade. To me, that propaganda which has turned people into such authoritarians and abandon civil liberties is beyond frightening and the control social media has over the populace. It's only amplified by censoring information the powers don't like.
