As someone who has spent the last 15 years living abroad in various countries, and socializing with local people, I've begun to realize that the things you see online are heavily controlled by many factors. Dictators are one party that I feel strongly shouldn't have the power to censor what I say do. But I also don't want Mark Zuckerberg or Capital One bank or Digital Ocean to censor what I can see, but they all do it and I don't think that's any better.
Browsing through the replies in this thread, it's apparent why we have tech boss censorship and always will - most people, sadly, actually do want censorship and defend and even advocate for it.
