There's nothing new here. The "conservatives" in the US are arguing for free speech and against censorship while passing laws banning the mention of concepts in the classroom.
It's been a tactic since the days of "Jewish Questions." Why are you angry, we're just asking questions, what are you trying to hide?
But even a disingenuous introduction to matters of digital privacy and mass censorship is an education. 1/20 of them may enter into a relationship with the subject separate from the people clumsily manipulating them. Part of the right-wing revival (really a Eustace Mullins revival) amongst average people is a sense that they are being deceived and a consequent lust for secret, forbidden knowledge. Real conspiracies are going to be more interesting to the smarter ones than the ancient, fake conspiracies that are constantly being pumped by people asking for money.
