I am 100% fine with censorship of known falsehoods. Let them appeal it in court. Even the tools behind 1/6, besides the biggest tool at the top, won't even risk perjury and probably contempt, in court, with the risk of jail, unlimited fines, and permenant censorship from mass media on the line.
I would prefer the falsehood to left up, colored a deep red and shrunk down to like 8pt font with a pop up on your curser that comes up when you hover over it, stating the fact of what it is; such as 'unproven', 'demostrably false' hyperlinked to evidence, 'conjecture', or 'MTG - Jewish Space Laser crazy'.
Pick up social issue, it doesn't matter your stance on it. Chances are, there is a science behind it that clearly takes a position. Facts over feelings.
Changing your mind when given new information is a strength, not a weakness. Doubling down on error..? That's some flat earth, you are definitely going to an old folks home now, kind of shit. That's how it looks. Onset dementia.
I apologize to those with real onset dementia, we know you didn't choose it, you're still worthy of respect.
