Censorship will eventually target its own advocates
Censorship and the shutting down of people are always carried out under banners of virtue, as both Stalin's and Hitler's regimes did while presenting themselves as utopias; people have forgotten the 1940s and what this looks like, so the lesson is that if you go in for censorship, the next person it happens to will be you.
