There is a challenge of balance which exists between the two extremes of reliable and censorship resistant infrastructure and responsible and balanced control of the information published on it, as it relates to the health of a group of citizens. For good or bad, the censorship resistant infrastructure piece is coming at us like a freight train in a variety of ways. What is currently needed is a balance in the way we implement the infrastructure such that some information may be segregated from the greater population using variable value assessment.
The logic goes, if some information is more valuable shared privately, then the infrastructure should make it harder to access. Conversely, if some information is more valuable shared publicly, the infrastructure should make it easier to access.
To do this effectively/efficiently, information must become a market commodity and have a means by which the value to access it is governed by the consensus of the viewers. This is made difficult given information may be easily copied by individuals and the current state of affairs with sharing things over social media and the problems with group think.
I would note that "hate groups" are groups who focus on removing choice for others by way of introducing thoughts and ideas which act in a viral manner in the population. Double binds are one form of passive coercion which have made a reappearance within the (cheap) available social media offerings.
