Silicon Valley Corporations (Facebook, Google, Amazon) are doing the Western establishments' dirty work by acting as the censors of modern information. Although Western democracies thankfully have freedom of speech ingrained as a cultural norm, a slight-of-hand has been played where the major broadcasting companies act as the censors for the powers that be. Due to the fact that they are private companies, this is perfectly within their right. However, it has led to the undesirable situation against which freedom of speech was meant to protect: The control of information by a powerful few in order to manipulate and direct public opinion.

Citizens of all countries need to demand freedom of speech and freedom of information, not only from their governments but from corporations as well, who have the power to control what they read, hear and say. This is essential for critical, independent and free thought. Without it, humans very quickly become slaves.
