Oh, make no mistake: We, as a society, are absolutely nowhere near responsible enough to be able to handle using social media responsibly. But the solution to that problem isn’t what would amount to a blanket ban on free speech. It’s actually holding the people who lie and spread misinformation accountable for spreading lies and misinformation, but unfortunately I don’t see that happening any time soon.
Probably going to require a multifaceted approach, honestly. Education, further limiting what Free Speech protects, materially punishing the transgressors, etc.
