It's not more tyrannical. That's the point. You already don't have free speech. You can't criticize any of the sacred cows of the left in public or you get fired, potentially imprisoned and possibly murdered. You can't buy a gun or ammo or even a damn knife these days without showing an ID.
Let's look at the outcomes of what you're advocating for.
You still don't have free speech. Nor will you, because you aren't actually trying to stop the people tyrannizing you. In fact you're fighting the only people who are.
I won't stop making it, because it's completely and observably true. You do not have free speech. And you never will, so long as the psycho wannabe commissars of the left are permitted even to exist.
Not by the government
There is no meaningful distinction to be made between leftists with official or unofficial power.
what websites I can access
They already have it. Look at Alex Jones. Forced with a judgement larger than any in history, all for saying a single sentence.
The only way to be free of them is to do what Gab did and spin up all the website backbone yourself. Otherwise you are under their thumb. And if you're European it's even worse, they claim jurisdiction over the speech of everyone else on the planet, under the flimsy justification that their citizens might see it.
You're trying to defend something that doesn't even exist in the hypothetical. And to do it, you're trading child access to porn. This is eminently foolish.
And it's the same damn argument I heard when Reagan signed the amnesty and doomed this pitiful excuse for a country.

Perverts get free reign.
Seems like a double loss to me.
Stop making this stupid argument.
Not by the government, at least not directly. Again, we shouldn't make it easier for them.
Hell yes you can, at least for ammo and knives.
I'm advocating for not giving the government control over what websites I can access. That's it.
Again, stop with this argument, it's beyond pointless.
I really don't see how letting the government have control over all the information I access is them stopping their tyranny of me, but you do you.
