The weaponisation of health and security policies. These are all strategies that governments around the world are increasingly using to curtail the right to dissent, protest, and even just access information. Most of those are made easier by the current structure of the internet. So the power that Twitter yields is important. A lot of the dictators actually rule with wide enough popular support as to be legitimate. And their mission of thought suppression is made easier by the censorship infrastructure already build to deal with the cancel culture demand. You cannot separate both.
