I'm not talking about spam bots.

The problem is that this childish 'murican view of free speech and censorship has poisoned the entire discussion

No, it's your opinion that you're smarter than those who formed the "childish view" is what has poisoned a lot of things. The rest is either deliberate bullshit or you failed to read my comment.

Censorship happens at any group, because it’s all about maintaining social cohesion. Remember when trump was first elected and several family ties and friendships effectively ended? That was RL censorship, because trying to mend the social cohesion wasn’t worth it. Why would you be close to someone who makes your life terrible?

No, that's not censorship. You are not forbidding all your relatives to communicate with some other relatives, or else. You are just ending your own communication with someone else.

Go away.
