While I agree with your assessment, I'd note that pretty much everyone at this point declares that whatever views they disagree with are "misinformation," so proactively banning things solely because someone has declared that they're "misinformation" isn't a sound strategy.
And again, I agree with that assessment in this case. But that's really beside the point.
How can any of this actually be proven to be misinformation? We're here on our couches reading second/third/nth hand information. None of us were in the rooms where these decisions were made. None of us are on the front lines. The best we can do is make an educated guess on who is a credible source, and that's especially difficult when everyone involved has an interest in lying about the situation when things don't go their way.
