The government (at least in the U.S) isn't allowed to censor media content, but the government doesn't control the flow of information, multi-national conglomerates do that. And they have a vested interest in making sure certain kinds of content become popular, which other kinds get ignored

I that capitalism, and all the hierarchy, double standards and gaslighting uesd to maintain it, cause us to lose critical thinking
Ideas expressed on Tiktok and YouTube are just a symptom of the greater problem

Exactly! I feel like a lot of popular books are popular precisely because they are bad. In Twilight's case it's because society socializes young women to want relationships with narcissistic, predatory, older men. So when thay read a book about that happening, they think that they like it
