There is a delicious irony in a nobel peace prize winner advocating for more centralised control on speech. But I’ll leave it to people who take non-scientific nobel prizes more seriously than me.

Don't you think that Facebook is a centralised entity that controls speech globally?

The most mainstream interpretation of this problem is that the issues are:
1. The speech is not controlled strictly enough
2. The speech needs to be controlled by somebody else who’s more aligned with my views

Surely you'll forgive us unsophisticated philistines who place more weight on non-scientific Nobel Prizes than you for having profound respect for people who have the balls to risk their own well-being to stand up to thugish, corrupt and oppressive leaders by exposing their corruption.
I also trust your intellect is able to grasp the absurdity of trying to frame Rappler, who risked her own safety to hold a leader with a track record of criminalizing journalism to account for their corruption, as an opponent of free speech.

You know that famous sculpture of politicians debating climate change as they're up to their necks in water? They should add a few people beside the politicians holding up banners fighting for the right of Koch brothers and their climate change denying brethren to spend billions of dollars spreading fake news about climate change.
