Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes, but I wish people would engage instead of just bury this post, unless of course you’re an advocate for censorship.
Plenty of tyranny can take hold in societies which can no longer distinguish between information and effluent.
I might agree with you regarding free speech and free expression if it wasn't, as is increasingly happening, shaped and manipulated either by algorithms or basic, out-in-the-open policy.
For example, I took a look at X for the first time in ages the other day via xcancel ... it was even more of a cesspit than it has been where horrible voices were shown first because they had a blue tick (which is not a signifier of any form of quality) and many reasonable voices are drowned out.
If this is the trend for all networks (and we see here Zuckerberg capitulating here unsurprisingly), then a time will quickly come where these billionaires will shape narrative quickly and easily.
And, of course, that time is already here, "just not evenly distributed".
You are correct, but that just means your opinion offends the anointed, and thus is similarly buried.
