Yeah there is a vast difference vs free speech and out right lying or spreading misinformation. There is a reason that trump was punted from the platform, it is really damaging because people take that information as trusted information. Social media has become a pandora's box where it is just to easy to fake a screen capture or post an older article trying to pass it off as news today. Like the one I heard making the rounds yesterday, where people are trying to pass off an article from 7 months ago about the Pfizer CEO not having his shots as a new story. Claiming why should you vaccinate when the CEO hasn't. A simple google search shows the article was from before he received his second shot in March. People shouldn't have to spend a second debunking crap like that, but by the time they do it has made its way through how many millions of people.
Fact is the goal posts have moved from the initial covid virus and I applaud the organizations that are willing to make the stand to make a difference. If they can get even one person to switch, then it is worth it.
