Does anyone get the feeling that we're going to see a huge censoring of the internet under the guise of "preventing violent extremism"? (hexbear.net)

I feel like the TikTok ban is only the start.

The US is pissed that it couldn't 100% control the narrative on Israel genociding Palestine and sees the internet as the reason why. They've already put a lot of effort into homogenising and controlling the narrative on most big social media sites. I wouldn't be surprised if they started cracking down more under the guise of "stopping misinformation"

I've already gotten some 30 accounts perm-banned on social media for sending death threats to settlers.

However, no consequences when threatening to DDoS pro-Isisraeli groups and even the idf-cool themselves, even making good on those threats by sharing IP addresses and posting screenshots, like when I took down the ACDP and SAFI websites, lmfao.
