I remember a quote, attributed, probably by mistake, to archeologist Heinrich Schliemann: "Ah, Democracy, I've seen democracy. Three robbers were voting should they kill and then rob fourth one or rob him first and then kill to avoid revenge."
There were always inconvenient things in the Internet, and many people read them just for curiosity. Many old-gen Internet users know one document well, so: How many ideas from "Jolly Rogers' Cookbook" have you made in reality? Not many*?
.
Then the thing begins - the censorship attempt is also intruduced to cover the fact that most of modern "social media" Internet is purely, yet covertly driven by companies and they may do something uncontrollable. The fact about this dependency is also censored for years yet in western society not taken as censorship, like censorship of nude women is not taken as censorship in orthodox (not only Islamic) societies. The "Most frequently seen/voted/commented" is just a matter who pays more to publisher. And people are manipulated enough to trust it without question, so it becomes dangerous. But... how exactly?
The problem with censorship is that it doesn't directly affect its real goal. Becoming an active terrorist is not a decision made between choosing what to eat for breakfast and how much tea put to water. I think that the censorship now doesn't want to stop terrorism, but tries to eliminate question where these terrorists come from, why they act and how not to make more terrorists, to make people think that the only solution is the invasion on another country... which will produce more terrorists of course, but media are controlled enough to cover it too.
* OK, my mistake, most people haven't made any pyrotechnics from it, I made one - this metal-based mix for high-temperature is in small quantities just wonderful for low-precision welding, only use good bricks to secure it and know how to handle metals in very high temperatures.
