Almost all of your points are ridiculously wrong and some sound like a parody of Orwell.
Here, just concerning no 3:
There are different mechanisms by which speech is regulated. It's well accepted that you can be held responsible for your speech if it's illegal (i.e. defamation or the "FIRE!"-yelling classic).
This is different from censorship in that speech is regulated after it's published, not before.
It's also a widely-held misconception that life is more important than anything. Quick thought experiment:
- Current estimates are that costs about 38,000$ to save a life for the most efficient NGOs.
- Say the US presidential election costs about 5 billion.
=> Should we cancel the election or let those 125,000 people die?
