I don’t think it can be disputed that there is a lot of propaganda and misinformation in the internet.

One logical conclusion to this would be to protect people from that via censorship.

Many recent examples of the US doing this as well (Covid, Russia, etc.). Of course, the US delegates this to its cooperations, so it can publicly say its hands are clean.

People do remember the Twitter files though, and the US government has massive spying and monitoring capabilities, so its hands are not actually all that clean.
