I think the people that were censoring thought they were doing the right thing.
They thought they were silencing hate and misinformation.
And then the craziest term, malinformation.
Malinformation is one that drives me the most nuts because it's actual factual truth that might be detrimental to overall public good.
Just like, what does that mean?
Are they unable to decide whether this factual information, how to use that and how to have a more nuanced view of the world with this factual information that's inconvenient to the people that are in power?
You're turning adults into infants and you're turning the state into God.
And this is the secular religion.
This is the religion of people that are atheists.
And we should be able to see people that are wrong.
You should be able to see people that are saying things that are wrong, that you disagree with.
And then it's your job or other people's job to have counter arguments.
And the counter arguments should be better.
