People keep repeating this trope, and it seems to never be true. They claim there’s a deep state operation on the basement of a pizza shop as “what they don’t want you to know” (no such thing exists), while at the same time we have literally unfiltered access to everything happening on the ground in ukraine and gaza. Citizens are more informed than ever, and other than maybe a couple of governments (israel, russia, iran), there’s really no clear “tighter leash” being put across the board…?

I couldn't make any sense of your comment. You start with argumentative "People keep repeating this trope, and it seems to never be true.". Then you tear down some dumb "pizza shop" strawman. Then you basically agree with gp, while acting as if you are putting up some counterargument.

You indeed cannot read, random troll

> the decentralisation of information transfer is allowing citizens to be more informed than ever before about things their rulers don't want them to know

Racial superiority ideas and/or discrimination is the issue in this case, and 90% of other cases involving censorship in Brazil. How is that something “the rulers don’t want you to know”?
