This is as silly as Nixon's "credibility gap" or H. Clinton's "optics." Society has a
corruption "problem", because it is built on power rather than any ethic. People don't trust it because it is untrustworthy, and its ideologies are constructed from ancient myths and revelations organized with retroactive justifications. Censorship is a tool of power to keep people from sharing that lack of trust with each other, that feeling that values imparted to them by their superiors are self-serving and hollow, so that, alone, they can't assemble factions that are dangerous to order. The internet has enabled so much peer to peer communication that people can casually create disintermediated formations at a rate that wesn't possible in society until now.
The actual content of that distrust is also not important and not noble. In the West it's 99% rewarmed Ezra Pound bullshit mixed with American Lost Causeism, Central European Blood and Soil naturist primitivism, Western European anti-semitism still battling over Dryfuss, and a thousand other, smaller revanchist fantasies. Our current order was constructed by men just like them, and any of them could have been (and gave a good try to being) the power doing the censoring right now. The magical thinking and mythmaking that distinguishes them falls away with power and the secular bureaucratization needed to rationalize and maintain it.
In the past, the thing most likely to get you killed was what you said to people. Rebels began secret societies, with fiercely guarded memberships, and disguised their meetings in coincidence and their discussions in euphemism.
You'll be censored when you threaten someone more powerful than you. Your stable lifestyle relies on the order set up by people more powerful than you, not for your benefit, but selfishly. You are their support structure. The reason you weren't censored before is because you actively propagandize for their order openly, and you keep ideas dangerous to that order to yourself. You can't even rebel right, your rebellion is an appeal to utterly orthodox strongmen who resemble nothing other than the great-grandparents of the people who rule you now, and who discarded their fiery, incoherent ideas like old clothes once they grew out of them and settled into the throne.
There are no more people meeting in secret and making effective plans than there ever were, in fact, far fewer because of the overarching domination of entertainment and commercial culture. Call me when you start seeing people hanging from streetlights.
