Dog shit take. The point of free speech is you need dialog to be able to find the truth in the first place. The ability of the state to define what speech is illegal is a gateway to unbridled fascism.

Get him on nostr
Who determines what is unbiased and truthful though? If it's the state, then it doesn't work. If it's individuals, then eventually the journalist doesn't get any views, in turn make any money, and the free market handles it naturally
