Too bad, the oligarchs in control are about to lose everything.
They are afraid of a huge uprising, where the town comes with pitchforks to throw their useless asses out.
So, they try to control everything. Especially the dialog and the narrative.

But, they have never seen a force like this.
People everywhere are talking to each other, and when that happens the truth is found out and lies are exposed.

So, they are using their power to shut down the counter-narrative.
It has always worked before. Shut down their internet access. Shut down their money sources.

BUT, what will happen is that this will speed the adoption of crypto-currencies and internet 3.0 (the interconnects). And then, the oligarchs will just cry, because they will have no control left.
