I think in 20C a level of information control was possible that’s simply not available today - this sort of stuff is only for keeping +/- 2 σ normies in line

Maybe it’s a good development if it accelerates to the point that 9/10 people are blocked from participating on social media leading to it becoming a barren wasteland of regime frens patting eachother on the back while the rest of society finally gets to touch grass.
