Imaging Facebook-type censorship, but instead of a post being deleted or a meme removed, your own thought is deleted and your own opinion is removed. Perhaps even your ability to conjure a thought that is counter to the mainstream narrative is prevented.
It'll start virtuous enough... "Install this neuralink update which will prevent you from having racist/sexist/homophobic thoughts... wait, you don't want those thoughts censored? What are you, a racist?"
I have a funny feeling we're going to look back at Covid as the start of this, unless something major causes a shift of the current trajectory.
