I think that "communication pattern" is inaccurate information. But maybe that points to the real issue.

Do we agree that harmful inaccurate information should be screened for and eliminated?

What prevents them from removing say, any information about workers rights because THEY deem it harmful? This is a very dangerous road to go down, that leads right to fascism.
