    The goal is to keep opinions we don’t want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can, at which points they’ve gotten a head start on going viral and tend to capture a larger-than-otherwise share of media attention.

    Interesting. There’s definitely a concerted effort to censor information on the internet.

    I don’t think it’s just Russians. I also believe a lot of useful idiots are perpetuating censorship because it’s expected of them.

      Censoring misinformation and russian propaganda from taking over is okay. Information warfare is brutal and the russians have been winning in way too many places lately. Same with the nazis/white nationalists. They should be shut down. There’s a reason Germany has laws against being pro-nazi.
