tl;dr: Youtube deleted the channel of a small non-mainstream news site "Achse des Guten" because they were critical of Corona restrictions and mandatory vaccination. The site operators sued and won. Youtube has to restore their channel. Youtube lost several censorship lawsuits lately and had to restore content.
Kind of amusing that a country without freedom of speech is one of the few (maybe the only one?) where you can sue social media giants for censorship and win.
You probably need a further thousand years of failed experiments and revolutions to get there.
And that is assuming that things always move in the right direction.
That's why I said a thousand. I'm an optimist so I expect general slow progress through the peaks and valleys.
I’m sadly not sure society lasts another 1000 years…
In fact, I would be almost certain it will not.
But hey. Hold onto your optimism. I imagine it’s nice. I honestly wouldn’t know… 🤷🏻♂️
If society falls, another will be built.
