All censorship is implemented to protect X from Y. Where X is typically the local population which is not smart/strong/informed enough to understand why Y is harmful. On the one hand, X are indeed usually ignorant because that is the natural state of humans, school is a worker assembly line as opposed to a place for sharing knowledge and their own governments lie to them and trick them all the time. On the other hand, the censors typically have ulterior motives and their goals are aligned with keeping X in the dark. You’re obviously wrong about there being nothing to gain from censored information. In fact, one can gain a very rare thing indeed - an own opinion that isn’t shaped by middlemen.
