Censorship? Do you mean the fact that we hold platforms accountable if they post hate speech or misinformation, or is this something else?

> Censorship? You mean when we censor people for speech we don't like?

uh, yeah.

Speech inciting hatred, violence, or plain misinformation is harmful and so should be illegal or restricted.

Cool idea, feel free to run your police state of a country that way.

I'll continue enjoying my 1st and 2nd amendments though.

I like the small % of nutcases in my country. We also consider disinformation a national security threat. That way a foreign adversary cannot push the public into voting for an incompetent, ignorant and arrogant criminal narcissist. I don't want my country to turn into an idiocracy.

And concerning your 2nd amendment, I also own guns. The difference is that only sane, non-violent people can have guns in my country, and crazy people not. You know, crazy people that would take their guns to schools and start shooting.

Enjoy your freedom!
