We have censorship everywhere you look. There is no porn on Facebook, not many links to illegal stuff in Google.
I've been thinking about it all day, and perhaps it is OK if half the world is walking around thinking the earth is flat. Perhaps it doesn't really matter if our leaders don't believe in science. Does it really matter that 700,000 people died of covid unnecessarily?
But does it really matter if your speech is censored if nobody believes what you say anyhow? just another mad voice in a sea of madness?
But assuming the whole point of society is to try an improve the lives of people living in it, I think we need a foundation of trust, and we should do out best to suppress things that undermined that trust. Trust in our officials, Trust in our media, Trust in each other.
