      Democracy needs to protect free speech. Part of that is keeping the information “playground” equal and fair. Fighting disinformation and protecting access to the press is important for that.

      A well informed population is vital to prevent the masses from being dragged along by some rich guy just buying a common social media platform

              Thank you for clarifying! And yes, you’re absolutely right. Freedom to speak for what you stand for doesn’t mean you’re free to speak like an #######.

              Although I can see how some people find that confusing
