There is a Cultural Marxism going on in many of our universities and in lthe eft-wing media narrative. And in that effort there are quite some censorship going on. It’s unfortunate.
However, Mao’s rule of terror evidently was FAR worse. You would be killed or tortured to death if you didn’t repeat the official narrative.
There is censorship in every country today, to a certain degree.
In Russia, people are not allowed to protest.
Political opponents are all either assassinated or thrown into political prison camps in Siberia.
Only Kremlin-approved “news-outlets” and TV stations are allowed to operate. Zero competition.
A russian citizen pushing for peace between Ukraine and Russia will be sent to prison. He will be considered as a “Foreign Agent”!
Not only Freedom of speech has been abolished in Russia, but freedom of assembly as well.
Thus we have certain level of censorship in the West, yes. But compared to what’s happening right now in Russia, we are very lucky.
This map says it all:
