Although people will still self-segregate, being exposed to dissent will help. Censorship definitely hastens polarisation through denying access to dissenting viewpoints thus giving a person the impression that their view is the norm. That's a dangerous path given how we already tend to believe the opinions we hold are more popular than they actually are. We need to see dissenting viewpoints.
