What is with these vague, open-ended questions with no effort put in to try to provide any detail or literally anything to engage with?

Now instead of answering your question I have to ask a bunch of questions myself:

  • How, exactly, are they wrong?
    • Are they merely incorrect?
    • Are they actively spreading disinformation?
  • Is their speech causing harm? If so what kind?
    • Is it direct and measurable like hate-speech or incitements to violence?
    • Or is it something vague and nebulous like 'decadence' or 'societal harm'?
  • Who decided that they are wrong?
    • Experts?
    • Moderation teams?
    • Bureaucrats?
  • And most importantly, who is doing the censoring?
    • In what form?
    • With what authority?
    • In what medium?
    • For what purpose (actual, not stated)?

Context matters, friend. Please provide some.

No matter what authority, rationale or interpretation cited, it comes to the judgment of the person actually pulling the trigger.

But this is obvious.
