Censorship and propaganda are different

What a weird comment to make

Both are tools to control the narrative.

But you can just talk about censorship in America

[-] hark@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

There different forms of censorship. Flooding the dominant platforms with the official message to obscure opposition opinions, shadowbanning posts, etc are softer forms of censorship but are still censorship. The rulership class is fine with people voicing their opinions if they feel it doesn't threaten their power. They will crack down harder when that feeling changes.
