In this case, I'd say the censorship worked in favor of Hamas, and while "poorly moderated" platforms did give them the opportunity to spread their "propaganda", Hamas used it to show everyone their true face. The result of the propaganda was people who were previously sympathetic to the Palestinian's cause we're now calling for Gaza to be turned into a parking lot.

I also find it rather rich that the article is complaining about misinformation when most of the press printed the lie about the hospital attack as if it was a fact.
