So you say.

I have no difficulty examining what I read and making a determination regarding its validity.

I don't need or want someone else to preemptively usurp my freedom to decide for myself.

That's wonderful if you actually have the ability to determine whether something is valid.

Unfortunately, a majority of Americans are incapable of critical thought and discernment and believe things like Jewish space lasers cause forest fires, politicians eat infants, and the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

X is just a steaming cesspool of misinformation. Only one kind of person got mad about Twitter's content standards because only one kind of person is obsessed with spreading misinformation.

That's your opinion.
 
Our collective sickness is now that we gain so much "connection" with our fellow people via "social networks" that we can no longer navigate a real world full of people we disagree with. The other damaging thing about social media is that it encourages anonymity (a perfectly rational approach) but that anonymity frees people to be their absolute worst without consequence.

That's what JPP is for. Absolute worst things we can hurl at each other like a rage room where the dishes we break are other people. Slam, bash, beat, insult, it's supplanted a lot of our social interactions now.

Any corner of this cesspool where people can get a break is OK. But it's just more of the same. Anonymous, unreal, no actual connection and liable to become as toxic as possible.
