In theory I agree, but freedom speech should come with responsibilty of speech, especially when you have a broad audience. When you built an audience that you make believe "science is bollocks" and spread that 5g is responsible for the spread of COVID-19, how do you prevent the potential death and destruction it's gonna result in? I agree that just shutting down a youtube account is not the best approach, but in this case, something has to be done and there's no good framework for that currently.

I do believe strongly that people should be held responsible for any act caused by them spreading lies.

Even constitution-level free speech shouldn't be thought of as blanket freedom to lie, but exactly where the line lies is still under debate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_statements_of_fact
