    Hmm.

    I'd wager the vast majority of internet censorship is within platform, like that done by Reddit mods.

    The most egregious example I've seen in my lifetime was when old Twitter decided to censor a NYPost article, down to blocking sharing in DMs.

    It seems that type of example is entirely missed here. Is there any attempt to capture that signal?

      As a thought exercise, could it be captured?

        Join the referral program for a low cost online pharmacy. Post a link on each platform informing the users about the availability of male health products. Measure if it gets removed.
