As for disinformation, Dezinformatsiya has long been a feature of Soviet/Russian propaganda and they coined the term in the 1920's. And nowadays, we have people like Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, and networks like Fox News, NewsMax and OANN spewing it regularly.

Looks like we are on the same page. Disagree with the powers that be, and your words are "disinformation". Many are trying to push us into an orwellian dystopia, but they failed. Thank God.

But all you are doing is calling out those that disagree with you as sources of "disinformation". That's actually demonstrating the problem I'm talking about. Our founders saw that risk, which is why they gave us the first amendment. It doesn't protect speech that is "agreed upon". Quite the opposite. It protects the speech that, possibly, counters the speech of the "majority". And we've demonstrated recently, that it needs to do that. Look at Canada and the UK. Free speech does not offer the same protections there. It's why more have been jailed for speech in the UK than in Russia. That is abominable.

But as I said, that is being stopped, in part because of the free speech now afforded in places like X. And Truth Social...

Personally, one of the things I really like about free speech is that it gives those with nonsensical beliefs the ability to expose their opinions for the nonsense they are. And that is a very good thing. Good ideas need to percolate to the top while nonsense will collapse of its own weight.
