Anyways, you feel trying to suppress the information is better? It might be when it comes to stuff this crazy.
Maybe instead of an actual ‘debate’ there are just a couple of people talking and explaining why the information is not correct. But it might be too boring to draw an audience.

I don’t know, I see what you’re saying but people spreading misinformation can easily replicate that same format and act like trustworthy authorities. We saw that play out over COVID a lot.
I do think finding ways limit the platform this kind of crazy is given is worthwhile. Freedom of speech says you should be able to say all kinds of crazy without the government punishing you. It doesn’t say you should be given a platform on YouTube and an algorithm that spreads your message as far as possible to even vaguely interested victims.
