Who gave unelected eurocrats or billionaire techbros the right to censor the internet and decide what is "disinformation"?

They own the websites, so of course they get to censor them.

Ok, it's been 24 hours, anyone have an update?

Or else what, exactly? Until someone actually holds his feet.to the fire, the idiocy will continue.

I hate this word disinformation so much. We cannot censor any information on the internet even if it's a total bulshit. I'm on Lemmy cause there is no censorship and everyone should think about that nowadays. Anything you post online can have legal consequences and that's complete bulshit squared. #freespeach

There is a ton of censorship here, rightfully so. Lies must be stopped from spreading, they cause way too much damage. Most humans do not think critical enough to effectively filter out lies. This might be a inherent trait of humans. But even if we are critical enough, it is easy to drown out real information with a ton of misinformation.
