You had me nodding until this part. Yes, twitter is filled with misinformation. But government censorship is more dangerous than misinformation. Governments have killed more people than anything else short of heart attacks and cancer. Governments murdered hundreds of millions of people in the 20th century; giving governments the power to censor whatever the government deems to be misinformation is insanely dangerous. The most dangerous kind of misinformation is that which is promulgated by the government itself.
It's one of the mission of the CIA, spread propaganda, use influence to manipulate the press and journalists all over the world etc, back during the cold war
Using social media to achieve this mission is the natural evolution, as peoples usage to get information changes over time
It's very well documented, so seeing them at key roles isn't a surprise, and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone
They can't do it with TikTok, the app of choice of the youth and people all over the world
