Can someone please para-phrase this? I don't think the question at hand is whether or not we need to uphold the right to free speech - fake news can only realistically be censored when defamation crosses the line into slander or libel, in which case legal action can be taken against the guilty party, in which case those affected will be forced to prove that the news was inaccurate, at which point the whole thing will be resolved anyway - but rather we should be talking about how active a role government should play in elections. To limit the scope of somebody's research is to force them to access certain outlets of information. Even if that is done with the intention of properly informing voters, it is still voted manipulation. I believe the government should stay as uninvolved in the election process as is possible, and so I will advocate against the censorship of fake news sources. Fake news is not dangerous to a democratic society; the government's involvement in elections is.
