He began following a far-right website that trafficked in conspiracy theories about stolen elections and evil Democrats.
I find my distaste for censorship conflicting with my feeling that such sites should somehow not be allowed. Calling any group of people evil and saying they should be destroyed is instigation to violence. Frankly, if movie and record companies can, with a single request, have their content remove from websites, I should be allowed to remove content that quite literally puts my life and the lives of my loved ones in jeopardy.

I think this is a really important point.
We as a society, as a civilization, have to figure out free speech/unfettered inquiry versus disinformation/objectively falsified (or even weaponized) speech

Such sites existing are not the problem. The problem is the cultures that accept and even Foster such sites. Authoritarian ideologies, leninist or fascist. They rely on conspiracy-minded dogmatic rhetoric and propaganda to keep us divided and fighting.
