The people spreading false information is the government.How is freedom of speech "gone"? You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater.
People forget two things:
1) there are those who are deliberately spreading false information about a deadly disease and the vaccine designed to stop its spread for whatever reason.
2) right-wing "conservatives" invented censorship. They have been the ones responsible for using the power of big government to institute rules forbidding speech about birth control, abortion, and the LGBTQ+ community and other subjects from the days of Comstock up to the present day. They are the ones who pass gag rules forbidding open discussion of these issues. In greg abbott's third-world nation, he wants anyone who even offers a woman a ride to a free state to be sued by perfect strangers. Now they are also trying to forbid open discussion of issues regarding race. What happened to free speech?
