Stepping stone to using AI to filter out “approved” press/media and unprecedented control over public opinion.
It will happen in the west in your liberal bubbles too. Its not just despots and dictators who seek control. A right is not guaranteed, they must be fought for and won.
Anybody else see a heart react?
Methodology change between 2021 and 2022?
While I don’t doubt the general trend, something about this just seems “off” to me. Can you link the original data source?
Also, you’re packing way too much info into colors. Consider using a colormap that doesn’t have any overlap with your categorical colors. Also your colormap is off because your using alpha on black background
When nations go to war with other nations or support others that do existential concerns outweigh individual liberty.
Look at any thread about first amendment audits. Reddits go insane at the concept of free press. They cheer for violence against the press, sub mods go nuts when local corruption is exposed by journalists.
There are people who genuinely want the first amendment abolished because corrupt public servants react negatively.
They think publishing videos or stories and getting views/clicks or money is wrong and completely nullifies any story or crime they exposed.
It’s absolutely insane, and it’s why I’m not surprised the US is collapsing to fascism.
