People! Pay attention! THIS is why censorship is so bad. THIS is the slippery slope it leads to. Censoring information is just the first step in controlling the public, and keeping them uninformed/misinformed.
It’s the same as burning books. It’s the same as shutting down websites. It’s the same as only allowing state only channels to report news.
Back in the 80s the USA knew about chernobyl about a week after it happened. Russian citizens didn’t know for 3-4 weeks later.
China knew about Covid in August of 2019. They tried to supress the news until it finally leaked in November 2019.
Now russia wants to supress information of how badly the “special military operation” is going…almost 3 years into a 3 day operation.
So make sure you take note when people around you try to supress information, and ask WHY they want to do that. Looking at you, Florida…
Slippery slope arguments can be used maliciously but not all of them are necessarily malicious. This is the problem with bird-brains who cite fallacies without understanding them.

Russians: We had a nuclear incident
Americans: it must be really bad then
Russians: We never said it’s bad
Americans: Listen, if it was not bad, you wouldn’t even admit you had a nuclear incident.
This is, in fact, bad but please don’t advocate for slippery slope arguments.
Why?
It’s a slippery slope that’s why
yo dawg
