To me, the problem is that the whole situation is rotten, and narrowly focusing on one tiny aspect while leaving out the wider context just makes a convenient scapegoat.

Ever since these centralizing websites entered pop culture, it's been blatantly obvious that they are intrinsically subject to censorship, just like TVs and newspapers. cf "The revolution will not be televised". It wasn't a matter of if, and it wasn't even a matter of when. They are defective by design, and most people just straight up didn't seem to care. Just like how they were happy to believe corporate news on TV for decades.

Furthermore, most of the power in this country resides outside the de facto government. The pattern of "this is bad for us. please take it down. <possible implied escalation>" is routine and banal. Focusing on a government agency doing this (which actually has much less soft power than say a major advertiser or a golf buddy), and blowing it out of proportion just feels like a distraction from the overall dynamic. "Look we found the censorship! This is what we need to fix!" - even though censorship is pervasive for any centralized media.
