You are not free to perceive any information. In our society, some people have the right to decide whether or not you can watch a particular football game, look at a particular image, or know a particular prime number, as ridiculous as that sounds. Freedom of information consumption is an illusion from the days when law enforcement in the internet wasn't a thing.

Industry and state have a large interest in this and in just a few years they will have total information dominance. This won't require awkward measures like attacks on DNS or VPN providers. You simply won't be able to execute unvetted software soon. Chat control is just an example and the first step. The principle will be: You can only run software that fulfills all legal requirements, especially if said requirements monitor your well-behavedness.
