Censorship leads to genocide: After they burn the books, they murder the masses
"While the Internet has not been around in its present form for more than a couple decades, authoritarians and dictators throughout history have attempted to erase history that does not serve them well through mass book burnings, the destruction of founding documents and other records. What generally followed was mass murder."
"Today, this is being accomplished either through Internet censorship or actual shutting down of the Internet by governments. As Hodges noted on his website, quoting a Brookings Institute study, “there were over 50 instances of Internet shutdown and many of the shutdowns were associated with government violence against the citizens of that country” in 2016."
Do you think this will get worse now that ICANN is now under international control?
ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assignment of Names and Numbers.
I looked up ICANN and there is not much good to say about them...look for new domains though: dot sucks, dot gay and a host of other stupid stuff coming our way...maybe even: Dot Genocide?

That being other way around in the USA died out with McCarthyism in the middle of the last century.
The NAZI regime in Germany and the Fascist regime in Italy limited free speech and the free expression of ideas. To violate the restrictions in Nazi Germany was to face the concentration camps or worse. To violate them in Italy was to face prison time.
No one has ever accused either regime of being leftist.
Why I wrote that "in the USA" bit.
