I think I just remembered one of my fears that I always have: The idea of censorship

With the internet, I can find foreign journalist’s publications to cross-check facts.

Before the internet, I don’t think foreign press critical of your country’s government, especially if it’s an authoritarian country, would’ve been permitted.

Sure there are website censorships too in the modern era. But I think getting a VPN is far easier than smuggling foreign books and newspapers, and word-of-mouth news is just a long telephone game.
