This is why it is more important than ever to decentralise our content. In times of censorship, truth spreads through the alleyways, the backdoors, the posters nailed to the walls under cover of darkness.

The 'privilege' of holding a bank account and retaining access to the fruits of your labour is rapidly becoming contingent on the 'correctness' of your political views.
