Does anyone get the feeling that we're going to see a huge censoring of the internet under the guise of "preventing violent extremism"? (hexbear.net)

I feel like the TikTok ban is only the start.

The US is pissed that it couldn't 100% control the narrative on Israel genociding Palestine and sees the internet as the reason why. They've already put a lot of effort into homogenising and controlling the narrative on most big social media sites. I wouldn't be surprised if they started cracking down more under the guise of "stopping misinformation"

It already started during the 2020 protests with the disinformation panic, maybe even before that when Russiagate was just kicking off.
