Autoritarianism often goes hand in hand with nationalism, but not always. In recent history, it is the non-nationalists who seem to be most pro-censorship, does it not?

Unfortunately, due to the extremely dynamic and high velocity nature of current times, this article wasn't able to get into the new flavor of micro-censorship - hopefully they address that in the future.

Indeed, in 1848 authoritarianism and nationalism were the two major opponents on the European political stage.

A lot of people would say the same thing is happening today.
