> You fight ignorance with education and rational debate, not with censorship.

If humans were rational, that might be true, but humans aren't rational. Studies, and just looking at people's response to social media, have shown this.

Try changing someone's opinions with facts, and it will usually fail, but systematically post a bunch of fake content on social media, and many people will literally be willing to ruin their lives or even die over it.

So, if humans aren't rational, why do you trust anyone to curate available information and do their censorship duties well?
