Thanks for this essay. I don’t know of a solution other than individual behavior. Today a very small number of hate filled people can use our electronic media to distribute their misinformation to millions.

I agree with Hal about the distinction between government censorship and the rights of privately owned media companies. But what if the government is instructing and colluding with the media to censor particular people or ideas? This is the charge that Jay Bhattacharya, the Stanford professor of Medicine and one of the authors of The Great Barrington Declaration is making in a law suit that he has against Anthony Fauci and other government employees.
