There is little doubt each captured Nation is working hard on an effort of enforced censorship. Already happening in Canada under "protection against hateful & abusive speech". The way it will work is if you are anti-establishment they will find one comment you made back in 2015 that looks a little bit like hate speech like "I hate fascists", and then on that basis you will be banned. If you are pro-establishment your history will never be checked. Just like they are doing with all laws. Likely they will contrive a big Cyberattack to give them the excuse they need to establish total censorship.
So what is it we're doing here in the comments? "Anti-Social" media, I venture to say. Am I going to have to find every comment I've posted on Substack and delete them? I've certainly thought about that.
AMEN! I have always been careful what I post - I don't just share random crap, and I stand by it once I have vetted it. I don't do personal attacks, I come armed with facts. Which may trigger some, but too bad. Silence implies consent.

This is why I ducked out of social media in 2020 when I realized it was literally the Ministry of Truth. :(

Stand tall in your beliefs. Don’t run and hide.
I say, Bring it.

bottom line to any and all such protective measures: it's April 2022, a.k.a. WAY TOO LATE.
I read the fine print...what we like and what we write is their property. Sobering.
Well, had I not been scrolling public tweets and threads when that was possible without an acct., I'd never have found all of you.
I guess there is some silver lining ;)
I'm not really a fan of "moderation" but "balance in all things" seems like a good idea.
