There is an implicit rationale for the growing interest in censorship on social platforms. What makes the platforms new is that ideas of any sort can be floated and can then either gain adherents or not. There is no filter of how "far out" the ideas can be.
The elites HATE this idea. The strongest power of the status quo has been to set the agenda of what is "legitimate discourse" in media, in academia and increasingly even in private discourse. So anything that overthrows that ability to eliminate "non-legitimate discourse" (in the eyes of course of the status quo powers) is a huge threat to their power.
To my mind, the status quo is now in major failure mode. It is marching us towards environmental disaster later in this century. It is generating a life of ever more financially driven control and ever more surveillance both for-profit and by government. Alienation, at least in the United States seems at an all-time high as indicated by suicide rates, opioid addictions, mental health problem rates etc.
This all tells me that now is the time we should be exploring alternatives to the status quo. And we certainly shouldn't let the elites define the limits of that search. We need to allow people collaborate and discover/create GOOD new ideas on how to operate a society.
