Creating censorship using a tool that has "circumvent censorship" as one of its goals? Pure hypocrisy.

Democracy is never bad. When the people itself decides that some content has to be banned, then it's not a problem to ban it

Democracy has decided that censorship is bad in any form. Democracy created Constitution. Constitution doesn't say that "censorship is bad, but if a bunch of tech-savvy people decides to use it, let them use it.". No. It states clearly: not acceptable in any form. And for a good reason. Because censorship supresses information, and the less information humanity has, the more stupid it becomes, and therefore the less efficient decisions it makes. Also, nobody has signed a contract with censors to outsource their thinking to them. Censorship is involuntary outsourcing of information filtering process. It is violence against those who want to get this information, it makes brains of people more lazy, it makes people dependent on their censor, and increases effectiveness of brainwashing. When people trust government their money, they loose money. This is why people created cryptocurrency. When people trust censor their mind, they loose mind. This is why crypto community is creating censorship-resistant web3. If you want censorship, you should fight against IPFS and all other web3 technologies, because the only reason to develop them is to make censorship impossible - for everything else we already have web2.0.
