"UN plot to make the Internet a safe space" does a horrible job of covering the story but it's real and these people are VERY well connected politically to names like Ban Ki-Moon, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt. They want to make it illegal to disagree with a feminist online by calling it violent harassment and pressing charges under laws meant for death threats. Someone in Canada has already gone to court over this.

Or the powers that be can buy off the people running the centralized services like Twitter or take over democratic institutions like Wikipedia to remove people and information they want to suppress from the most popular venues. The less popular venues can be smeared in the press to discourage people from going there, filtered from mainstream sites, forced offline, etc.
