1.) Do you think it is wrong for Google, Twitter, and Facebook to alter the presentation of information based on whether or not the subject is "controversial"?

2.) Do you think it is wrong for Google, Twitter, and Facebook to alter the presentation of information by incorporating summaries and references to content that is produced by a centralized entity that is not legally bound to provide factual information, abstain from special interest influence, or be moral in any way not governed currently by existing code for business conduct?
3.) Do you censor yourself? (e.g., You wanted to say something, but didn't because you did were not willing to accept the worst of potential consequences?)
When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
Hypothetically speaking, if there existed a complete multi-media (videos, text, speech, thoughts, etc) record of every moment of my life since conception, and any of you were to review the whole thing (I assume this to be what God has done or will do for us all), I am pretty confident you all would have a similar summary of me. (Spoiler alert: I have flaws)
Given that people in government are still people just like any of us, I believe they also would have a summary of me that doesn't deviate too much from the average of what y'all came up with. I'm pretty confident that, upon review of my life, most folks could say with conviction that fucking with me is never a good option.
If you think about your own life in this way, it becomes apparent that, hypothetically speaking, if .gov could summarize your life since conception, they would come to the conclusion for most of y'all that fucking with you just doesn't make sense from any perspective, much less a logistical or moral one.
When we censor our own selves, we deny everyone vital information needed to summarize us. This leads to good guys being summarized as bad guys, bad guys being summarized as good guys, and no one really knowing whether or not they can trust someone or whether or not they're out on a limb, no matter how long they've "known" them. It's only the protected mouthpieces that get to have what little history we have of them scrubbed.
I think that if the commies in .gov ever got to the point where they were equally as omnipotent and omnipresent as God, they would realize that fucking with us, collectively, is a pretty risky endeavor unlikely to have any positive return.
They are not there, yet. In fact, .gov is basically retarded, and cannot do even the most simple tasks right. Lists, or whatever it is you're concerned about, don't matter at all today. The entire enforcement system was designed to target a small number of people simultaneously. 10s of thousands would overwhelm it, and we've easily got 10s of millions that, were it possible to process the entirety of all of their lives, would all concern the communists wishing to fuck with them to some degree (@ArmyJerry being max-concerning, and @Limedust being a question mark, like an unfamiliar dog of a breed that isn't known for its aggressive tendencies).
There is no reason to fear the government. Say what you think needs to be said. The more people that do it, the less anyone ever has to worry about what they say being used against them by communists.
Just look at this ridiculous bullshit:

But roughly two million people who work for the federal government have now been told that it may be illegal for them to participate in such discussions at work — a pronouncement that legal specialists say breaks new ground, and that some criticized as going too far.
