The worst thing about the western style censorship is that it’s completely useless for the cause.
For example, the internet is filled with blatant hate speech and racism, but because they don’t use the keywords or don’t show the designated symbols, that’s allowed.
However, the speech that doesn’t have intent of harm, it’s just a joke or have incidental content with symbols or words that are considered harmful, is banned.
In the last few years, it came to such a ridiculous point that The most oppressive regimes in terms of freedom of speech are those who claim to be the “free world”. They are also very unforgiving, you can’t apologize and move on. They will cut you off and never talk to you again. Even if they were right with their position, they don’t value you as a human being and if the cost to win you back is non-zero, they discard you. That’s fascism.
It’s not only that the speech is oppressed. Also, the product quality is greatly degraded because of this. It’s the worst aspect of everything, in proper fascist or communist systems at least you get some benefits like clean streets or free education.
