Ah, yet more infantalization and condescension from the government.

And, of course, not only does the government lie to us for own good, it 
has to also make sure that we don't tell each other the truth, so it 
labels truthful statements 'disinformation' and coerces online platforms 
to censor it.

Can't have citizens undermining carefully crafted government lies (for 
our own good!), can we?
