I remember a few years ago, when the big internet was talking about censoring the fringe (and calling it not censorship) that there were people talking about how the discussion follows the fringe and you can't silence the fringe, you can only push them elsewhere. And now, the government, still mostly monitoring the big internet, predictably misses the very impactful information exchange happening where it was driven to.

Will they learn their lesson? Well, that requires a genuine desire for self reflection and improvement, so I doubt it.
