Two examples among many to point out that the orders come from above(, or, as they may admit on the occasion, public-private partnerships), hate Youtube all you want but don't be blind to their pressure(, you could also remark that the government itself is taking orders/"advices" from other people, i.d.k.) :

- An anti "hate speech" law has been voted by the european parliament a few days ago : https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/youre-big-brother-eu-parliament-votes-to-make-hate-speech-an-eu-crime
I'm sure that you could find many more people than these, as well as examples of bot armies and wikipedia editing, but here's some other recent examples :
- This irish bill(, wtf, honestly)
- A political party has been accused of terrorism apologia in France, as well as the daughter of a member of our parliament
- And more
Of course, yeah, even if i regret that things aren't better, i'm also glad that things aren't worse. Unfortunately they're progressing towards the latter.
