It's tempting to think that preventing an idea from being discussed online means it will go away, but that's never been the case. It's much better to have it be challenged and corrected publicly.

It really can be difficult to keep up with all the lies being told, but automated fact checking can be a great help here, and the more a lie is seen the greater the odds it will be challenged (provided we have the freedom to challenge it)
