Censorship is just another way to wield power. It has nothing to do what people should or shouldn't see. It's about controlling the population. This is associated with dopamine hit each time authoritarian enacts another restriction and they just want more and more as tolerance builds. It's a slippery slope that will end up badly if we don't stop them early in their tracks.
Once the withdrawals get really bad, it's when the army goes on the streets.
