Firstly, the EU is not about small government, so half of the joke is lost already. Secondly, rampant misinformation vs. factual information about abortion...

But sure, it's all the same.

Creating a censorship apparatus is dangerous, because the person who gets to decide what gets censored has lots of power, and power corrupt over time.

And what might be considered flagrant propaganda to one party, might seem just like political spin to another party.

I think we're all better off if we let people say what they say, and then evaluate the individuals by their words, rather than by approved content. I don't see any sustainable way of approving content that doesn't introduce bias and censorship unduly
