      Then you should say that instead of a reductive “don’t censor”. Censorship is important because you want to avoid false and harmful statements.

        Definition:

        censor: to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable

        Removing false information isn’t the same as removing objectionable information.

            Definition:

            objectionable: undesirable, offensive

            Yes, false information is technically undesirable, but that’s not really what that word is trying to convey. The goal should be accurate information, not agreeable information. If the truth is objectionable/offensive, it should still be easily findable.
