So we must censor everything to protect us from misinformation which allows the censors to determine what is available and what is lot.

Yeah, I think this is a terrible way to address the problem and very likely a way for elites to re-assert their control over information sources using this emergency.

It's certainly not about 'protecting children' in the way that they're presenting it.
