This is always been the case. Eg TV networks have guidelines on what they can and cannot air.
If anything, the internet brought about an unprecedented lack of censorship. But that was only when it was a smaller community of individuals. The moment it snowballed, moderation was needed (whether that was on IRC, BBS or wherever).
Right, the reason Democracy degenerates is due inherent disagreement, and the fact a democracy can still vote to stop being a democracy.
It only has one goal, namely not to let a small group of individuals take control. If a small group of individuals then influences the many, the point is rather moot.
But anyways, yeah. Don't censor anything. Instead let people do their own censorship, by which I don't mean censor themselves but censor other for themselves.
Everyone has things they dont want to or can't hear but nothing is unworthy of being said, not even blatantly false or disruptive things.
Another possible explanation is that Democracy degenerates because the average person isn’t very bright and has a high time preference. Since the closer a society is to a true democracy the more the inclinations of the average citizen determine policymaking, you see poorly thought out short term plans that snowball over time into an avalanche of dysfunction.
