Surely this won't turn into a political weapon and be used by people who want more control over society and politics to twist definitions of words to attack people they disagree with in order to avoid having a real conversation. It's abundantly obvious that if this was used to punish people who insist on a more authoritarian federal government or who openly hate people of european heritage online this would be an outrage to the usual suspects and not even given the light of day, the fact it's being applauded is a great indicator that this will be used to persecute people who dissent the federal government.

You don't want a welfare state? Must be because you are intolerant to the minorities that use it. 2500$.

You don't want to see a biological male pummeling a woman in a cage fight? obviously rooted in discriminatory ideology! 2500$.

You questioned the election results? You are intolerant to democracy! Oh wait, you were referring to a special election in Georgia? Our bad, we've reimbursed you for our erroneous detection and applied the usual double standard.

You are vocalizing autonomy and authority over your own body? Antivaxxer detected, docking 2500$. Oh, dang, the automated system didn't realize you were referring to an unwanted baby so we've reimbursed you.

Right, because "pro-white," anti-trans, election-denying anti-vax sentiment is so censored online. I never hear any of this on any social media site, or on "news" sites like OAN or Fox or Breitbart or Joe Rogan or Truth Social or Parler or the comments of "Hacker News."

I dunno why the midwestern tradesmen are so riled up as of late, especially the electricians (they keep yelling watt power?), but they have a point with the whole legally allowed to pummel a lady, after getting a doctor's note, itself also after said lady agreed to the whole thing.

Censorship doesn't have to be perfect to exist. It just has to exist, which it does.
