If you don't censor hate speech and allow malicious propaganda to be the default, is there really any value in letting it be accessible?

The problem really is that the lenders of X's debt probably have a significant influence and have a vested interest in recouping their money.

I don't believe there is any value in X. In fact I'd say it has negative value. However, granting the UE power and legitimacy to censor any website for political reason also has a negative value, and I'm not certain which is lower.
