The absolute power to declare what is disinformation and censure accordingly is arguably more dangerous.

I'm coming from a science background. Science is the arbiter of what is correct, and what is not. At least for those questions that science addresses, and has sufficient data to support. Your (or my) opinion is not a substitute for data. The vaccine works, or it doesn't. Ivermectin works, or it doesn't. Etc.

Now, if we're talking "gay people are immoral", I agree. That is not subject to the same standards as science, and censure of opinions on either side of that issue is very dangerous.
