"What we are witnessing right now is the death of the free internet and the birth of a new digital dictatorship. No longer can we be trusted to decide for ourselves what content is appropriate or correct. Everything must instead be filtered through the state’s definition of ‘safety,’ telling us what is safe to say, see, or believe. Under the guise of protecting children and fighting ‘hate,’ governments are creating the most comprehensive censorship apparatus the West has ever seen."

    I can't help but think this could have been avoided if people would take some responsibility and turn on parental controls for their kids. 90% of the shit they're trying to "protect the children" from would be invisible and they wouldn't have this trojan horse stuffed with fascism.
