does anyone remember when the whole "hate speech" and "misinformation" spin started?

9/11 was definitively the turning point for our future but i think the "free speech is evil and has to be censored" idea appeared later. somewhere in the 2010s?

i more and more feel like in a dystopian novel now. things are getting vague in you mind and all records are manipulated already.

“misinformation” spontaneously generated in 2020 to combat anyone talking smack about covid. “hate speech” was around much longer than that.

@cowanon i'm pretty sure i heard the misinformation label earlier than 2020, but as i said: things are getting vague in my mind ;)
