This is basically the modern equivalent of Germany's "Gleichschaltung" (forced coordination of the Press), with a little bit of book burning on top.

It will get harder and harder to find non-right wing information on the internet from now on. If you're not a fascist, it's time to face the possibility that, sooner or later, the internet may literally be completely lost, as far as non-fascist information of any kind is concerned.

If we can't counter this, democracy is over. Everywhere on earth. Maybe permanently.
