Providing community notes and overt information seems far far better than covert censoring.
The problem with covert censoring is twofold: a) people get an insanely distorted perception of what average people think and b) sometimes the people in power doing the censoring are wrong (e.g., the censorship of the hunter biden laptop story as fake news). Overtly correcting false narratives via community notes evades both of these issues.
