#1 Everyone I don't like is Putin.

Don't forget kids - be on the side of the deep state's endless wars, or you're in the pay of the FSB!

#3 People who fear freedom of speech don't fear "disinformation" (despite their specious claims to that effect.) They fear access to the truth.

#7 If someone promotes lies and nonsense on any public medium, the obvious recourse of lovers of truth is to refute that false information.,
Suppression is only rational when the information cannot be refuted.
That occurs always when the information is truthful.
Thus the only rational purpose to censorship is the suppression of truth.
here are times when that can be appropriate. such as when in world war 2 we were able to read some Japanese communications. Publicizing that truth would have been idiotic.
Other truths were suppressed during that war, for the purposes of preventing panic in our population.
However most suppressions in recent years have been only for political reasons, and are a disgrace to their perpetrators, who control most sources of information in this country and strive to control them all.
