I don't agree at all. I think you can see this is in action with the reaction to COVID in the last couple of years. They've censored anyone who questioned measures to the point where they created massive swaths of the public who don't even believe the disease is real and mistrust the vaccine.

Just because you're not seeing these people on your daily social media doesn't mean they're not gathering elsewhere. It's mostly likely a place that doesn't have any alternative views as well.

How do you explain large hate groups that existed long before the internet was invented? White supremacy is barely even a threat now, it's such a small minority of people compared to what it was in the past.
