I've kind of repeated myself in too many replies already, but the left is desperate for online censorship because online communities undermine their most effective political tool- media narratives.

If you can subvert or even gain control over the media's narrative of a political or social issue, Democrats and upper class Republicans are fucked. Big powerful message boards like 4Chan and the_donald figured out how to do this years ago and immediately realized there are concrete political consequences to doing so. That's how powerful media actually is, and how fragile it is when faced with competition.
