Nonsense. Chat control is prior constraint of speech. You can't argue that automated content filters are not censorship. You can agree with the ends (or what content is filtered, and even the governance), but the means themselves are thoroughly anti-democratic. And rife for abuse.
The problem is they see democracy as only the power of the people and not the power of the people in humanitarian context.
So if 80% want to kill 20% that’s ok with them but wouldn’t be ok with people with a humanitarian democracy view.
