Yes, for too long working class Americans have deferred to their "betters" to run local government including school boards. These officials are too stupid to understand that complying with the conditionals for receiving federal funds has hidden costs that must not be paid. Sacrificing your own local power is never a price worth paying.
The censorship laws/regimes that the 5 eyes countries, USA, UK, NZ, Aus, Canada are soon enacting will target companies like Substack, Rumble, even Twitter etc with huge fines and/or imprisonment for failing to censor, i.e., allowing free speech, i.e., anything that contradicts the official gov narrative. That's how I see it. In a video with Russell Brand and John Campbell on Rumble, Russell Brand alluded to this as well. I don't see VPN's of much help in this case. Europe is probably the same, the rest of the world is already there.
Agreed, VS! I suspect that the evolving totalitarian governments of the West allowed the "free speech" platforms to establish themselves in order to identify potential "troublemakers"; people who have the nerve, the unmitigated gall to disagree with the omnipresent, omniscient state.
What are the odds that "Substack, Rumble, even Twitter, etc" will exist, in their current form, at this time next year?
Russell brand featured this in his video at the beginning. Go to about 1:55 and you'll see the chart he puts up.
In Canada, it's bills C-11 & C-18, passed into law earlier this year.
They start off slow: they say it's aimed to support Canadian content on the internet but they're a foot in the door for censorship by eliminating 'disinformation' and 'misinformation'.
You'll have to look up the legislation in the other countries.

Carrier pigeons - a business opportunity 👍
Their drones will incinerate the poor birds.
