Sure, but there were other threads where the censorship charge was incorrect or at least amibguous. If you muster outrage in those situations, most people will inevitably tire of the boy crying wolf.
If we want this anti-censorship thing to work in the long run, we need an accurate and independent way to detect and call it out. Someone whining on some forum is not going to cut it. Because in past threads some of that was incorrect or at least imprecise.
We may need a technological solution, for example a service that masquarades as "multiple followers" of the target for censorship, then detects if the followers are being cut off from the target (e.g. shadow banning). I don't know for sure what the tech solution is, but I'm pretty sure it is going to be tech.
