I'm fully against how certain platforms out there are censoring or applying 'more information' alerts to content coming from independent sources mentioning anything pandemic related. All that did was fuel conspiracy theories. Made it look sketchy and controlled by a few. Also through the power of suggestion again, that conditions minds to dismiss 'unofficial' information by default, which could set the stage for problems down the road. I absolutely hate how the media handled this entire situation. And with that I include those who would intentionally spin the 'official' story into something it wasn't. That's new media as well these days, I suppose, since some choose to believe tabloids and get steered in all kinds of directions. Bugs me how the written word or the spoken recorded word is processed by the human mind. Just seems to enter the brain like a virus and start messing with the signals. And it bugs me seemingly majority of society thinks they're immune to brainwash. Once one puts their guard down, they become easy prey.

Too true. I am often haunted by how easily I have been led astray, and that is why I so treasure criticism, because that has always been what has corrected me when I have been fooled.
