Another frightening discovery has been made. It has been reported that certain words, such as the names of opposing parties or rival social media companies, have been forbidden on certain platforms. Now, if you are a Facebook user, you can no longer even mention any of its competitors. Rather than simply deleting these posts or preventing them from being published, they’re allegedly edited before they can be published, the message often being drastically altered in the process.

This has led to inventive means of communication, such as bolding certain letters or using line breaks to hide messages in order to avoid intervention. Though we are still struggling to fight for the freedom of speech, we hold hope that it will be firmly re-established in our nation.
