The road to hell is paved with "good intentions" and who gets to decide what harmful content is?

Exactly. Remember when saying "masks aren't as effective as you think" was considered fake news and misinformation? Or "lockdowns aren't effective and do much more harm than good"? Or "most children don't need to be vaccinated"? It's not a stretch to say that it could eventually lead to the point where saying something like "Trump is not racist" or "Trump did good things as president" would be considered misinformation and could get you banned.

If "fake news" were criminalized a significant percentage of current "journalists" on both sides of the divide would be in jail.

I think these folks need to reread the US Constitution. Free speech is free speech. If I don't like what you say I can ignore you or rebut you.
