Everyone talks about censorship. But no one talks about what DRIVES censorship. To me, it's driven by 3 main behaviors:

-HYPERSENSITIVITY: This offends me.

-GROUPTHINK: I can see how this is offensive to you, therefore it offends me too.

-COERCION: Since this offends us, we should "protect" others from the same discomfort we feel, by censoring offensive stuff.

We can build all the censor-resistant mechanisms in the world. But so long as sensitivity and groupthink pervade, weak people will strive to coerce strong ones.

We need to normalize:

-Feeling uncomfortable

-Thinking outside the Overton Window

-Challenging beliefs

-Being different (truly different)

Until we do, the urge to censor will seep out no matter what medium or tangible tools we build to prevent it.
