Give a government vague legal tools—say, a 'hate speech law' with no clear definition—and suddenly any statement becomes fair game for punishment. The real problem? Terms like 'misinformation' are so elastic they can stretch to cover whatever authorities want to silence. History shows what happens next: today's 'dangerous speech' becomes tomorrow's dissent, and legitimate critique gets lumped with actual harm. This is why decentralized systems matter—they can't just rewrite the rules on a whim.
