Censorship of valuable content sucks. Fortunately, we have some emerging leaders with big balls challenging the status quo.

Elon Musk recently made a bold revelation regarding banning Professor
Tim Noakes from old Twitter, now known as X: โ€œIf we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us. The other platforms accepted that deal.โ€ Suddenly, the veil was lifted, and I could see why Medium might be engaging in silent censorship.

Censorship of valuable information that benefits society is a disservice to us all. While itโ€™s crucial to curtail hate speech, defamation, and harmful content on social media and writing platforms, the practice of silencing important topics is equally troubling.

Now, I grasp the concept of silenced censorship, offering insights into whatโ€™s happening on Medium, especially concerning critical subjects like cancer, suicide, abortion, and illegal drug use, even when penned by experts.
