Microsoft Corp. won’t label social media posts that appear to be false in order to avoid the appearance that the company is trying to censor speech online, President Brad Smith said in an interview with Bloomberg News, hinting that the company is taking a different approach than other technology firms in dealing with disinformation.
And I don’t think they’re really interested in having tech companies tell them either.”
“We’ll be investigating how can we do that in the context of influence operations,” said Tom Burt, corporate vice president for customer security and trust.
Much like it already does with its cybersecurity incident reports, Microsoft’s policy team will share its propaganda-related findings with international governments, with the aim of lobbying politicians to agree on a set of rules for nation-state conduct in cyberspace.
Smith said Microsoft wanted to provide the public with more information about who is speaking, what they are saying and allow them to come to their own judgment about whether content was true.
“Our whole approach needs to be to provide people with more information, not less and we cannot trip over and use what others might consider censorship as a tactic.”

The complete reversal on the issue of censorship and free speech by the majority of internet users is genuinely harrowing. Those comments are surreal to to read on a website that actively protested against sopa and pipa. I fear for the future if it's this bad.

People will only pay lip service to the cause of free speech when its them being censored and not their political adversaries or random people saying shit they don't like. Tbh the right is like this also. People are just more honest about their tribalism now.
