Normally, when politicians, journalists, and philanthropists are caught doing something illegal or wrong, they stop. Sometimes, they go to jail for it. Sometimes, they are shamed publicly. And sometimes, they make excuses. But, in most instances, the progressive march of history shows that when powerful people are caught doing bad things, they stop.
That’s not been the case with censorship. Despite repeatedly being exposed for having imposed or demanded ever-more online censorship, politicians, journalists, and philanthropists continue to make their demands. From President Joe Biden to the New York Times to George Soros, politicians, journalists, and philanthropists are unrelenting in their quest to control what can and can’t be said and heard on social media platforms.
