This argument itself got politicized and associated with the "right wing". People in general have lost faith in the "marketplace of ideas" concept and instead are leaning towards this totalitarian approach of "let only good information exist", forgetting that the process to get to good information requires unhindered critique of bad information. Ultimately it's this unfounded faith that arbitrary centralized players (media, social media, government, whatever) wouldn't adhere to, or enforce, any incorrect doctrine of truth, which is a pretty dumb concept considering the number of things society doesn't even fully understand in the first place.

Everyone on earth (Especially in America) should be forced to understand this. Corporations in America are legally obligated to act in the interest of their shareholders. Ethics don't fucking matter to them unless a law says they have to, and as we established, most of our laws regulating corporations aren't even being enforced in the first place.
