This is exactly what I find frustrating. Teach people how to debate and the world grows.
I’ve thought about this a lot and I think part of it is that a lot of people supporting censorship are young. They haven’t had the time to fully understand why it is bad for their side of the argument as well as what they fight against. They also have not had the time to develop debating skills to allow them to win without censoring.
I hope that doesn’t sound ‘ageist’! It’s what I believe to be true.

Uh...this kind of thing has been going on for a while now, dude. You're just now noticing?

If they banned him from FB or IG, that isn't censorship. It is the owners of private entities telling him his viewpoint is unwelcome on THEIR platforms. It may be "social" media but it's their property and he agreed to abide by their terms in the TOS.
"TPTB" is paranoia.

This doesn’t surprise me and maybe the title should reflect this truth.
