France bans most election coverage just before the election. It’s to prevent misinformation from coming in at the last moment without an opportunity to verify or properly understand it.

Why do you think multi-million dollar tax paying enterprises are acting in a way that guarantees higher taxation, policies more hostile to business, and, more oversight? What do you think they stand to gain from this?
Besides, I suppose, emphatically opposing the alternative? Could this be it? Perhaps the alternative side is somehow bad for their business?
I strongly feel this is would explain what you claim to see, something I do not.
What I actually see is that coercion is at the root of your philosophy. Your arguments, demand that you have freedom of action at the expense of others. Your issue is that you are unable to compel compliance. Unsurprising since that concept is at the root of your ideology. Quite transparently, and distastefully so.
The basic problem with the notion of "censoring misinformation" and even "fact checking" is that the "flat earth" stuff isn't really what anyone cares about. It's the debatable stuff that people have the desire and incentive to censor. That's always the way it works out.
