>>What will happen if West would allow it? Will it collapse? If not, why censor it? If it will, what's the difference between West and Putin? Both will collapse without censorship. >If you're wading int moral relativism, then what is the point, really? It's neither moral relativism nor whataboutism to ask for the principle that divides our "good" censorship from their "bad" censorship. Once that mechanism for censoring RT is in place, what is the principle that will keep bad actors who gain the reins of power from censoring inconvenient truths or political opponents? The mass adoption of some terrible idea by the populace in history nearly always accompanies control of information or censorship. Unfettered access to all ideas, even bad or nutty ones, will lead to some bad or nutty people adopting those ideas, but collectively people understand what's true. This is why it's shocking that Europe is adopting the tactics of control that dictators use.
