YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Social media has become a den of censorship, with free expression resulting in everything from soft "shadowbans" to outright bans and silencing. In this video I cover the topic of psychological reactance and how it related to social media, censorship, including self-censorship, and the future of free speech on the Internet.
