Modern Society and Censorship

[admin]

Modern society seems so quick to want to muzzle people. 

Black and White

Label and Kill

No discourse. No dissention.

No tolerance of different ideologies.

The modern large corporations use AI to automatically block people. 

It seems to me society allowed crazy people to lie in 1980. Society dealt with it. 

Nowadays people are "shadow banned" and even doxxed online by evil netizen mobs.

Scary....

 

I started off believing in "Free Speech"..... still do.... I have learned though that you cannot be allowed to yell "fire!" in cinema.

There is a line.... it just seems like the world has moved that line way too close to embracing "Big Brother" mentality.

Evidently, so does the US State Department, and CIA entities. Some of the best foreign news sources have their accounts banned due to disagreements with US policies or exposure of falsehoods.

Why 1980?

@TrueTomHarley It seemed pre-internet enough to make my point.

I'm not even sure though that the Internet is to blame for the polarization and censorship.

It is odd, but not at all inappropriate, and certainly not illegal to yell " CINEMA !! "... in a crowded Fire Station..

Yes people can't even be an individual now. Being crazy doesn't mean being different if everyone is crazy.
