The Associated Press ran a piece citing so-called online safety experts claiming that free speech on Twitter will result in a rise of “misinformation.”
AP is such an expert in misinformation. Twitter couldn’t hope to compete!

This is really an unbelievable claim for the AP to push after they just published fake news about the Russians firing missiles into Poland. That fake news report could have sparked a third world war.
Free speech reduces the possibility of fake news and misinformation from being spread because it allows lies to be openly challenged. All the online censorship we saw over the past several years made it possible to spread unlimited numbers of hoaxes and lies.
It’s just insane the AP would have the nerve to run a story like this after they spread a very dangerous and irresponsible fake news story.
