Dr. Aaron Keryotti contends that the most alarming aspect of the COVID-19 era was not mistakes made, but the pervasive censorship, which he views as evidence of 'evil people' at work. He details how the government, through entities like the White House, pressured social media companies to suppress information and silence dissenting voices, even threatening to revoke Section 230 protections. This systematic suppression, he argues, fundamentally violates First Amendment rights and creates a dangerous precedent for controlling information flow. The suppression of legitimate questions and debate is identified as a hallmark of totalitarian regimes.
