I am wondering: Is the problem censorship in the traditional sense or that available human attention remains constant while available content increases exponentially?

If the amount of content far exceeds available human attention, most content is never paid attention to by nobody, that is, most content is effectively censored.

In yet other words, what makes us dumber is the ever accelerating rate at which content is created.

The inquisition is coming from both ends of the spectrum, and anti-authoritarians are the heretics du jour. Authoritarian systems work by creating a sufficient climate of fear so that people police themselves.
