Frankly I’d find it much more acceptable to label so-called sources of misinformation and link to the evidence of their past transgressions. This is the only measure which is respectful of the kind of free exchange of ideas typical of a democratic society.

That so so many jump directly to banning, silencing, downranking tells me that we’re already in big trouble, as evidenced also by the heavy-handed coronavirus-related censorship, cancelling people, etc.
