    Seems a bit weird that journalists are increasingly the chief advocates of state censorship of the internet

        They advocate free speech only for themselves. Everybody else is supposed to shut up and listen to them.. That's how it worked for them in the good old days before the internet when they had a monopoly on mass communications.

        question and this applies to anyone reading this as well. Is there a solution for when government demands ISPs shut down certain websites? Its coming you know its coming,yet ive seen little in the way of preparation for this eventuality.

        Because they are all of the same ideology, and want to silence opinions they disagree with.

        That's because they are not journalists. What they do is PR for their bosses, who generally are hell-bent on keeping afloat the system that made them rich and powerful.
