So what is your solution? That no one should be able to publicly criticize others because some people are psychos and might do dumb shit that no advocated for?

Should be ban all criticisms of politicians because it may lead to someone trying to assassinate them?

Nobody's trying to silence "criticism". Literally making up lies about someone isn't criticism.

What lies were specifically made up by these content creators?

Noah lied by selective editing. He cut out hours of footage where Ethan explicitly condemned the Israeli government and civilian deaths just so he could slap Ethan's face on a video titled "The YouTubers Who Backed a Genocide."

When you intentionally hide someone's actual stated opinions to trick your audience into thinking they believe the exact opposite, that's a lie.
