It’s not an antidote, just like a blockade isn’t an antidote to war. Blockades might happen to prevent a war or be engineered for good effects, but by default they are distortionary in a negative direction, have collateral damage, and can only be pulled off by the powerful.
Censorship can only be done by the powerful, who often lie at the same time. So I don’t think it’s wise to think of it as an antidote to lying.
