I'm not sure that is an even remotely accurate description of censorship. Otherwise folks that say things such as "back in my day we didn't..." could also be classed as censoring. the statement "you'd never get away with owning slaves today" is not censorship of slavery.

It's also based on the false premise that everything that happened in the past was better. People still have exactly the same rights to be bigots, nice people, or anything in between, the only difference is that people might have to justify it these days.

Most of the people that have been called cancelled have bigger platforms than ever, either in newspapers, tv, or with regular appearances on rogans podcasts.
