I'm disappointed that the term "Overton Window" wasn't used in that article: I think one giant effect of social media is that it limits the range of topics and acceptable opinions which can be discussed and for a country based on the free exchange of ideas -- all of them, not just some of them -- this is a real problem. And the alleged banning and shadow-banning only exacerbates the problem.
