In a free country people are free to speak as they want.
Indeed, you didn't answer my question though, which was is disinformation in the middle of a global pandemic a good thing? Also while free speech is a right, private platforms are under no obligation to let anyone use their platform. If you phone the New York Times and insist they publish your views you will see what I mean, and that is censorship, it is also perfectly legal, even in a democracy.
When there is tyranny, there is no freedom of speech and messages that the regime doesn’t approve are labelled as “disinformation”.
False equivalence fallacy, and I note you don't address the disinformation itself, just draw this false equivalence, but then again you seem to think armed insurrection on the Capitol building, where aa police officer was murdered by an armed mob, and the government forced to stop the legal transition of power after a democratic election "wasn't that serious" so you have a bizarre grasp of reality from these few posts.
Even if it would be disinformation, limiting freedom of speech is not good nor right solution.
So it is ok to go into a crowded theatre and shout fire for a joke then?
If you think something is disinformation, you should prove and explain why so and then let people to choose what they believe.
So yes then, you can point out it wasn't a fire after everyone has panicked and fled the theatre and hope no one is hurt? Come on now, you must have some notion of how damaging disinformation is the era of social media and the internet, especially in the middle of a pandemic? Do we wait for countless lives to be lost then, and then say "I told you so" after the fact? Which is the more responsible approach?
That's Trump, inciting insurrection before the capitol riots, whatever anyone's politics you'd have to be pretty blinkered not to see how dangerous the man is. Incidentally a police officer was killed in those riots, and the US government had to suspend its business as the lives of members of the government faced a very real threat. To suggest that wasn't that important is insane, it's hard to imagine a more damaging image globally to the credibility of the US than it's President, sworn to protect the constitution, inciting a mob to march on the Capitol building and "fight like hell" to stop the legal transfer of power in a democracy.
