The Guardian has always been at the forefront of that push, with their absurd "Web We Want" section (which died a swift death, fortunately).

This article uses all the usual tricks, dressing the issue up in emotionally manipulative language citing mass shootings and holocaust denial as if free speech precludes being wrong or offensive (it doesn't).

The specifics don't matter. Examples don't matter. All that matters are the precedent and the future applications.

This is about what all "safeguards" on the internet are about controlling the narrative. The old idiom still applies:
Knowledge IS power.

Right now WE have it, and THEY want to take it back.
