Ten years ago the type of censorship that exists now was almost unimaginable. Having access to information and letting people decide for themselves was once the norm and considered the ethical thing to do. Now the paradigm is "protecting" people from non mainstream narratives. The upside to this is that more and more people distrust MSM and realize that MSM seeks to stiffle opinions that are outside the bounds of discourse defined by MSM.
Excellent points. Yes, maybe even 6 years ago it was not very common and would raise eyebrows. We are on an accelerating timeline to the dark ages. The safety-ism of the Quads has flooded the corporate environment and we all are worse off for it. Someone recently opined that its not MSM - the atomized alternatives are the mainstream now and the more people tune out the corporate propaganda the more they will crush (censor/ban) the new mainstream sources. In the end people want the truth. Lately they're starved for it.
Remember when news articles online had comment sections? This was hailed as a MASSIVE victory for democracy. There were tons of stories and praise for it. The People's Voice would be added to the stories and form a new consensus! The people and the journalists engaging with each other and learning from each other. The people acting as a watchdog, and engaging!
Then - it all disappeared. The newspapers took down the comment sections and never explained why, acted like they never existed. Because people tore the media apart by showing the effect mass immigration has on the economy and crime, and pointing to who the neocons and their allied donors and media are. The facts were relentless, so they must be silenced.

yes, I think they are losing for that reason. Soon most people will be banned
