You are playing into their hands by accepting the premise that all of this is the result of "fragile users needing protection". The reality is that the censorship is about maintaining a narrative that the majority of people would speak out against. Usually because they find it abhorrent or dangerous. It's about creating the illusion that the propaganda is widely accepted.

Manufacturing consent using the media, as Chomsky put it.

By creating an Overton Window and a false consensus, people can disproportionately shape culture and thus shape minds.

People need to be vary aware of the media we consume, because it affects us even when we think it doesn't.

I think I pretty much became a "right wing extremist" even though none of my views really changed just because I basically stopped watching TV when I was 18 because I was too busy, with my media consumption basically limited to reading books on the train and watching some DVDs of old shows. Then I wake up one day to find the whole world has gone insane.

Same.

I probably became a little more pro-small government, and a little more pro-life, but it's hard to tell how much of that was being pushed out of the left and opening my ears to what the right has to say, or just being and adult and getting some life experience under my belt.

But my values and principles are all exactly where they were when I was in college and considered myself very left wing.
