It's already decided for us in indirect ways through influence on social media. Why bother censoring information when huge swaths of people will do it for you? Most of the public in the world, let alone USA are puppetted by algorithms and belief system of Silicon Valley. A person's brain has inputs and outputs. Inputs are overloaded with popular trends, social media posts, constant attention seeking and addiction culture fostered by these companies. Independent thought if it goes against the mainstream will get characterized as 'political' or worse 'misinformation', ultimately get shunned.
