    People are opposed to preventing the spread of misinformation, but it would be 99% conservatives saying that. Not sure you’ll find too many people here who will make that argument.

    Edit: thinking some more about this, my mistake here I was considering that non-conservative people would admit to themselves that they might believe a false thing. People aren’t very good at that. Everyone thinks they have all the right facts. Conservatives are less likely to learn/change, sure, but man is Lemmy a case study in how it’s not uniquely them stubbornly clinging to and spreading ideas without wanting to re-evaluate them.
