I think it's particularly dangerous to take this approach of banning or outright dismissing something that we don't understand. It's usually what leads to costly mistakes that affects not just the person or set of people that made the decision.
Governments seem more overt now on how they want to enforce control, I feel they might just conquer much of the digital space through social media and program the minds of many of its users.
Yes, I agree. They seem to realize total banning doesn't truly work, at least not in the Western countries.
