I'm not sure if the regular internet works the exact same way, but I think the algorithms they're using for social media is heading people into a new form of censorship
I've complained so many times to people...many who seem not to "get it"....about how these social media platforms like Youtube and facebook not only have written rules but many more UNWRITTEN rules where they block, censor, and shadow-ban people for not going along with certain programs.
It's pretty much getting people to censor themselves.
Social media used to be the place for free expression.
Now people are hesitating to talk about certain topics, cuss, show women in skimpy outfits, etc....it's more censored than television.
