What gets me is the censorship. Just a few years ago it was common sense in America that if someone is trying to hide something from you, there's probably something to it. Yet now a good number of people want to be protected from dangerous misinformation, and don't understand how that makes the rest of us just clamor for it even more. If the powers that be didn't want us sharing information, the last thing they should be doing is banning people - which makes whatever they were discussing a "forbidden topic" and even more interesting.
Censorship doesn't work unless you have a police state or a really docile population of sheep. Sadly many of our neighbors are sheep.
