This is nothing new. Freedom of speech has been on decline for a long
time in the west, accelerated by corona, where WHO and many western
countries took inspiration from how china were dealing with things.

I think in the short term, that things will only get worse, but the
silver lining is that perhaps this will push more people onto anonymous,
federated and decentralized online platforms, and away from the
corporate giants, thus, benefitting the market in the end!
