Why the hate for wisdom?

draconian social control laws

Like those that charge women with murder for getting an abortion or having a suspicious miscarriage, even if they are raped? Do you have an example of a law that you know that has passed recently that limits free speech in a "draconian" way? I'm really asking specifically in the US, but I would accept any other examples of where this is happening, because I like to be woke about these things, too, and if it's a real problem, actively denounce it as well.

Personally, I see "deplatforming" as basically akin to an athlete being caught on steroids and then not allowed on the Wheaties box. Character clauses for large corporate sponsorship are as old as corporate sponsorship. The choice for Youtube to deplatform someone is more often a business decision than it is a social decision. They are beholden to their corporate sponsorships, as well. I'm not celebrating this dynamic, I'm just saying this isn't necessarily a new experience focused on targeting a select group. Corporations are constantly promoting all sorts of insidious agendas, I think focusing on one quite small facet can tend toward seeing the trees and missing the forest. And it ends up looking like you're defending a parade of nazis and other crazy racists who are all borderline if not openly genocidal. *

*This was the best article I found that had a compiled list, if you have any examples of others who have been deplatformed for non-nazi-esque reasons, I'd really like to know. Basically all of the people I am aware of who have been deplatformed from large social media conglomerates are on that list, and admittedly I don't keep up on this stuff, hence my ignorance to the problem.
