Socialist Benito Mussolini became the dictator of Italy about a hundred years ago. He later founded "fascism" (and allied with Adolf Hitler in World War II). As an authority on the subject, he explained it like this:
"The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist . . . [it] interprets, develops, and potentiates the whole life of a people." The government controls all values, interprets everything, and dominates "the whole life of a people."
In today's America, the government works with corporations to define truth and limit what the people see, think, and feel. It's not a secret. Social media takes direction from government to censor "misinformation"--by the government's definition, for its political benefit.
At least one motive for Elon Musk to purchase Twitter was his interest in freer, less controlled and less censored speech ("Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy"). After reducing staff in big numbers, he said (video below):
"If you're not trying to run some sort of glorified activist organization and you don't care that much about censorship, then you can really let go of a lot of people, turns out."
Here's that famous recent interview that Elon gave:
