Silencing Voices Undermines Democracy
The current climate of censorship poses a significant threat to the integrity of democratic discourse and the Constitution. When a reputable expert in a critical field can be silenced for expressing views during a crisis, it sets a dangerous precedent for freedom of speech. Many individuals have reported being shadowbanned or deplatformed, revealing a widespread fear of speaking out, which aligns with authoritarian practices. The chilling effect of these actions not only stifles individual voices but also engenders a culture of fear where professionals hesitate to contribute openly, fundamentally undermining democracy.
