Seems a poor fit for “government outsourcing…censorship.” Government didn’t do anything to cause it to happen. It looked to me like some companies exercising their first amendment right to choose what they allow on their wholly-owned websites. Nobody was stopped or even discouraged from setting up their own websites to spread their hysteria. But I know Elon Musk thought that was censorship. Idk maybe they didn’t require much constitutional knowledge on his citizenship test.
1. That is not the point. Truly liberal and progressive societies should tolerate and be immune to disinformation without censorship.
2. What is known to be false now may be true later (and vice-versa). No matter how big the govt. or a company gets, it won't be omniscient.
3. Remember the well documented flip flop about masks. At one point, CDC/Fauci were the ones spreading disinformation. During the flip-flop, real information was censored. Also, the lab leak theory was initially ruled out to be 100% impossible and heavily censored, now the same folks are saying that it might have been possible.
Since the sibling comment has been flagged dead, I find it absolutely hilarious that the commenter who says "we should all touch grass" created a new account to just reply to this comment while sitting in a public park. Apparently, touching grass is not enough for them.

Meanwhile here I am at a public park launching Estes powered rockets
You all should go touch grass. Sedentary exercise or language faculties is not healthy
