Nothing is; that's great. (Let's see how long it lasts!)
But we've seen a huge embrace of censorship on our dominant communication platforms (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube).
There was a time when Twitter prided itself on its commitment to free speech. They patted themselves on the back and chuckled as Twitter helped foment revolutions in other countries.
Now its caused a fair bit of political upheaval back in the good ol' USA, and the official line has become "we didn’t fully predict or understand the real-world negative consequences" of "public conversation."
Censorship culture.
This is simplistic to the point of mischaracterization.
I think it isn't.
I think it's dead on.
I think it's just conflicting with your religious beliefs, so you automatically interpret it as "simplistic" and "mischaracterizing" to avoid seriously engaging with legitimate ideas that question your tribal beliefs.
