Asymmetrical warfare

[Ajax]

Historically, before a war commenced in earnest, communication systems were usually the first thing to be targeted in order to disrupt the planning of counter attacks. We all know this very well.
Recently we have seen the removal of information from media sharing platforms, content makers have been demonetised or banned, increase in fact checking, reports of fake news and this sort of thing. We have also seen the introduction of new laws which were to combat harassment but are so broad in their terms that they are flexible to catch any kind of speech, if the powers that be wish it.
So my question is: does anyone else wonder if this disruption to the free flow of information could be the first sign of asymmetrical warfare being waged?
I appreciate your time in responding to this.

Thankyou. I cannot say I am glad to have another soul think these things too but I can say I am glad not to be alone in this line of thinking, if that makes sense.

I offer my most sincere thanks to Straight Shooter for the kind remarks on my post.
I am very new, joined today, but have lots of topics for discussion. I can, hopefully, offer advice too, as I am a country straw-chewer and know how life works to a certain extent, if you all get my drift. I am also an ex military engineer and know a little about that stuff too. To make it 'super-dupers impressivnesses' I am a wahmans! and have a vageegee and not a 'careful how you sit down now' lumpy bumpy - wow and yay! Whoever said physics and maths are sexist and racist? Oh...yeah...university professors ... erm ... ferk 'em?
That said - I am on no prescribed medications, I do not take illegal drugs, I do not drive erratically and I am in no way suicidal and so if I disappear PLEASE ask questions - I did not kill myself lol.
All I want is to help people in their situational awareness. It is okay being prepped but if you don't hear the starting signal, than you might not be running quick enough out the blocks. I just want to see you all doing great here.
Are any of our friends the Moderators reading this?
Friends I have data paid for by taxpayers just waiting to be shared. I can also help people to interpret the data streams - many are live. I don't want to risk the ban hammer and really hope to get a go ahead from those in charge.
May we start a Space Weather page?
6AM UK time blue sky and by lunchtime it was grey and raining, it will get much worse too. How do I know? The weather now is being cause by the plasma density emitted by the 2 m-class solar flares from two days ago. There are currently between 10 and 11 C-class flares inbound. It may get a tad rough, lovely folks, so make sure you have a way to cook food on, just in case the power goes down - not emp but tree branches falling down.
Also the Sun's total output has risen to the equivalent of a b-class flare and this is now its overall base rate. I am not trying to scare or panic but it is potentially possible that a large M-class or even an X-class flare could be earth-facing at some point. A new 'sunspot' was classified yesterday but it may not be in equatorial proximity, I will need to watch and see, folks.
I want the very best for you all and wish you to stay hopeful.
