Book censorship gives way to internet censorship, critics say
Original: # censorship of books is old fashion for dictators. The modern way is # InternetCensorship . As well as hunting bloggers
Commentators are arguing that censorship of books is an outdated tool of dictators, and that modern regimes instead rely on internet censorship, including the persecution of bloggers and activists. The observation ties together debates over book bans and online repression, suggesting authoritarian control has shifted from print to digital spaces where dissent now largely lives.
Why now: Ongoing concern over book bans and online censorship keeps the comparison between old and modern authoritarian control methods in circulation.
