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?
If you count platform moderation as 'censorship' then there's practically no uncensored public spaces on the internet.Literally even 4chan has moderation.Nobody, not even 4chan users, want an actually unmoderated space.
We quickly moved the goalpost from "censorship is bad" to "I really don't like your opinion, so it's OK to censor it".
Btw, seeing how far right people with a megaphone in the town square looked and acted (and hearing the AI music they blasted) made me more convinced they're degenerate trash than any censorship ever could.
