I honestly don't think you should get banned for posting "lies" even. A conspiracy theory is very easy to call a lie if you don't have concrete proof, even if the evidence is very compelling.
My standards for the media are a bit different than individuals. I'm a little bit more okay with censoring propaganda that comes from allegedly credible sources, but of course the certifiers of what's credible can become compromised and all of a sudden, the enforcers of that turn into the propaganda agents.
Anons were banned for posting the truth. These fuckers get 'demonitized' but are free to continue posting their lies? Come on Elon!

i was literally just thinking about this in relation to a different article I was reading…
On the one hand, I don’t think the media should be allowed to tell lies,
But on the other hand, I don’t think the government should be given the authority to tell the media what is or is not lies
So maybe a happy compromise could be that the media is forced to have a disclosure like a cigarette pack
warning: this media might cause brainwashing, false impressions, fear, uncertainty, and doubt
