I find that it's always interesting to THEN consider, okay -- while there's no centralized board or anything -- what does e.g. American censorship go after?

I think we mostly use emergent social media effects for that now. Puppeteered by popular pundits, superhero movies and the usual marketing.

Unpopular opinions can lead to censorship, firing, lawsuits and death-threats. It works pretty good.
