Control and monitoring turns easily into oppression and stagnation, and there is many blooded pages in history to describe that outcome. We might say that this time it will be different, that we are just removing the bad actors and obvious bad behavior, and to put our trust in those that sit at the control. To that I quote: "Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he deems himself your master."
On the other end we have the open town square where the loudest speakers and richest will overpower all other voices until none can hear anything and chaos pours forth.
From both we see people flee into isolated subgroups with perfect echo chamber where the oppressed be free from the loud and censors, with the eventual result of polarization where those outside turns in their eyes into less and less human. From there hate and violence ensures and we go back and ask our self, did we want the censors or loudest to rule.
