Whoa, Ari is one narrative behind on this! I'll write it for him:
Our elections could be swayed by LACK of censorship! How would we know who to vote for unless we receive clear and unambiguous instructions? There's no path forward for democracy if democratic processes are in place. Our very right to be silenced is in jeopardy!
People read 1984 and say that something like that is impossible, people will not stand for it. Yet, we've been there for a while, and people are completely oblivious.
That and the classic tactic of always accuse your enemy of what you are doing. Hence Trump/Russia, Trump/Ukraine, etc. It's like the cheater that constantly accuses their faithful spouse of cheating.

That was those of us who groped to keep our optimism. There's very little of mine left.
Hypocrisy is the point - they want us to recognize it.
When a person accepts a reality they know is not true, it demonstrates subservience to those in control.
