If Trump wins the election how much worse will censorship be
submitted 3 years ago by PencilPusher55 from self.whatever
This makes me deeply curious. How much more censorship can be had before the platforms end up destroying themselves and they’ve been reduced to such a small community that fits their exact ideologies. What will happen if he wins?

Its already pretty bad. It will continue to get worse with or without him honestly

Worst case: They will try to start a civil war, and pretend it is Trump's fault. And on censorship, they will ban any news and science that is not following the narrative.

Sounds like we’re not far off this anyway

If he wins, then major platforms will continue escalating censorship to try and stop it from happening in 2024 with the next candidate.
If he loses, then major platforms AND the government will continue escalating censorship to try and stop it from happening in 2024 with the next candidate.

Why do you phrase the question "If Trump wins?" Do you think Republicans are solely responsible for more censorship?

No, that’s not what I meant. A lot of people accredited Alex Jones and other right wing commentators for helping Trump win. YouTube seems to ban them so that people can’t hear what they have to say.

I don't think the platforms will destroy themselves, they have enough sheep to make an echo chamber.
