That's nice in theory, but in practice it's how millions of people die of preventable illnesses, innocent people become the target of malicious conspiracy theories, and democracy itself is under attack around the world.

You are under the assumption that whoever set the rules on what information are allowed always work for the general public's best interest. That is not always the case. We have a modern example in the information Russia gives its people regarding the war in Ukraine. 

People who distrust the information coming from a certain channel will go to other places for there information. One can be sure that outlets spreading misinformation will control what is published in a way that different views are not allowed. 

My understanding of democracy is that free speech is one of the most fundamental cornerstones so I sort of agree that it is under attack, but not from the point of view you have.
