Because there are some functional governments in the world that don't allow US misinformation to spread without challenge.
They also suppress Falun Gong, are you telling me that's in and of itself proof that their cultist shit is one hundred percent true? If so tell me so I can laugh my ass off
So according to you it's the job of a functional government to select which topics are missinformation and can be seen or not by it's citizens?
Whose job would it be, corporations? Do you think the public was well served by anti-masker, anti-vax conspiracies being allowed to run rampant? Has the US benefitted from QAnon and Pizzagate being completely unopposed and sometimes boosted by social media?
How about no censorship? And you get to use your brain to decide. I like to live in a country where the government doesn't preselect which topics I have access to but to each his own, you can go live in the CCP or North Korea then.
