During the last three years, there has been more censorship on Facebook, Twitter, discussion forums, etc.
Some people cheer this development.
Some people deplore this development.
I personally have no doubt whatsoever that censorship on the Web will continue to expand as the term "hate speech" is stretched ever wider.
In plain English, the original idea that the Web would allow all views to be aired is now outdated.
Many people in power now feel that the Web should allow only "correct" views to be aired. And those people in power will define the word "correct."
