Here's an honest conversation. You're the one with a bad take. The "free speech isn't without consequences" idea has much more nuance that you're apparently not seeing. 99% of the time, any sort of censorship that's justified, that justification should be directly related to consequences that go beyond speech and opinions. To use your own example during COVID, people were being censored (or in most cases, statements annotated) to quash the spread of conspiracy nonsense, disinformation, misinformation and relay to the public factual scientific info directly related to an ongoing health crisis. Lives being at stake is a much different scenario from precious MAGA snowflake feelings getting hurt.

All those turned out to be true the so called conspiracy nonsense, disinformation, misinformation.
Johnson & Johnson:
"Johnson & Johnson has faced numerous scandals and legal challenges over the years, primarily related to product safety, misleading marketing, and health risks. The company has paid billions in fines and settlements for violations across its pharmaceutical, medical device, and consumer products divisions. "
Pfizer:
"Pfizer has faced numerous scandals over decades, involving allegations of unethical clinical trials, fraudulent marketing, and regulatory violations. One of the most prominent cases occurred in 1996, when Pfizer conducted a controversial Trovan antibiotic trial on children in Nigeria during a meningitis outbreak. The trial, which resulted in several child deaths and severe injuries, was criticized for lack of informed consent, inadequate medical oversight, and allegedly withholding effective treatment. Nigerian families claimed Pfizer underdosed the control group to make Trovan appear more effective, and the company faced a $6 billion lawsuit, which was later dropped after allegations of attempted corporate blackmail against Nigeria’s Attorney General."
Turned out both of these companies have multiple scandals of which both have "misleading marketing/fraudulent marketing"
Think about it logically:
If the pharmaceutical industry really can make you better they would be out of business, so your argument doesn't make sense
Censorship is never justified imo, people with bad takes will expose them selfs and i trust that most people don't need daddy governement to be able to think.
Also if you think censorship is justified why are you on nostr, your logic doesn't make any sense.
