Most people will never realize that the orders come from the government, who's supposed to protect us from censorship

Two examples among many to point out that the orders come from above(, or, as they may admit on the occasion, public-private partnerships), hate Youtube all you want but don't be blind to their pressure(, you could also remark that the government itself is taking orders/"advices" from other people, i.d.k.) :

• https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/18/eu-opens-infringement-proceedings-against-musks-x.html
• An anti "hate speech" law has been voted by the european parliament a few days ago : https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/youre-big-brother-eu-parliament-votes-to-make-hate-speech-an-eu-crime

I'm sure that you could find many more people than these, as well as examples of bot armies and wikipedia editing, but here's some other recent examples :

• This irish bill(, wtf, honestly)
• A political party has been accused of terrorism apologia in France, as well as the daughter of a member of our parliament
• And more

Of course, yeah, even if i regret that things aren't better, i'm also glad that things aren't worse. Unfortunately they're progressing towards the latter.
