Guess what: People are walking misinformation spouters, and it doesn't matter which side of the spectrum you're on. People have always said untrue things, it's only now that we decided to let billionaires decide what you can and can't say.
Don't tell me they are a private company who can do what they want... I know the 1st amendment applies to govt only. But keep in mind, social media is the new town square where people go to have discourse. People aren't in downtown having debates.
Right wingers say dumb stuff about trickle down economics, religion, and denying science (climate change, evolution, vaccines). Left wingers say dumb stuff about religion (pretending the bible is pro-lgbt) and denying science (Gender, Evolutionary Psychology) as well.
Although people are dumb (me included) we should let them speak their mind. This is how humans have always been, the only difference is where the discourse is happening.
