We live in a complicated world, and we do need the freedom to get things right and wrong. Never easy though in times of crisis.

Silver lining in this is the conversation continued and will continue. I can see governments needing to try to get accurate and helpful information out in crisis - and needing to pressure or ask more of private companies to do that. But also like that we can reflect back and go - maybe that didn’t work like what we wanted or maybe it was heavy-handed.

In many governments, the government can do no wrong. There are no checks and balances.

The question is - should we still trust YouTube/Google? Is YouTube really some kind of champion of free speech? No. Is our current White House administration a champion of free speech? Hardly.

But hopefully we will still have a system that can have room for critique in the years to come.
