As @[email protected] pointed out, I said “especially”, and that is because capitalist governments are incentivised to use censorship in a uniquely negative way against workers.
In theory socialist and communist governments should only employ censorship to protect workers, but history has shown that in practice that isn’t always the case and, as Maxim Gorky pointed out, even when it is, it often creates more problems than it solves.
But… the foreign black-box feed shaping algorithms are controlled by oligarch capitalists, and they are doing shadow-censorship. Ever thought about why Brexit won?
If you banned the giant social media platforms, people would come to Lemmy, freeing themselves from what you say is bad.
UK, and no, censorship is bad, especially if it’s controlled by a capitalist government.
Only if it’s a capitalist government? So you’re okay with censorship by fascist, socialist, communist and totalitarian governments?
They said “especially”, not “only”. your question is still partly valid why he would be “more ok” with other types of governmental structures.
Fascism is a form of capitalism.
