I think it's a question of ethics. To know what is right and wrong, and who has the right to define moral standards.

From my perspective, it's all about politics. If you have politicians ready to support almost anything just to get as much support as possible from the population, you can be sure to expect some very bad consequences. Bad decisions will pile up, weird things will become the new norms, and everyone will start to think that truth/righteousness is a subjective thing ... some people like to be misinformed, to live in a dream just because the truth is too bitter for them.

The Blockchain technology came indeed as a response to a form of oppression, it offers something really important to people, which is the concept of immutability (anti-censorship).
