Pragmatically. Why do corporations and government censor free speech? Because they can. Or if not censor, clearly they can and will manipulate it. While the internet was thought at its inception to provide a platform for greater openess in communication, it has as you pointed out had the opposite effect of creating narrowly focused ideology hives that serve to magnify extreme points of view rather than to openly debate and reconcile their conflicts, inherent deficiencies as well as strengths and achieve a higher understanding. The participants in these ideology hives are being manipulated by the cognitive elites to further their objectives.

If i were to guess the future, the left will win this battle as they possess superior communication skills in the inforation age. They will excel at in the art and science of manipulative techniques and will retain in place the infrastructure to ensure that they can control internet narratives of the people to conform to their world view and best interests as the elite class.

Thus society will be in the future an entirely different social structure than has been the past history of the nation. The individual will be subserviant to the communal. Big will replace small, in business, government, media. Traditional religions, a source of conflict and risk of opposing ideas, will be replaced by a uniform societal religion of social justice, equality and earth worship.

The Orwellian manipulation of the masses will become a reality. Why? Because they can.

This is in the cards and we will not be able to counter it. It is already happening. It is what is going to be. And in my opinion it will result in a continuation of the shift in wealth and prosperity to the elites coupled with a continuation of subsistance lifestyles for the masses. Because, regardless of rhetoric to the contrary, humans are a selfish species. The elites, as progressive and enlightened as they may portray themselves to be or in fact falsely convince themselves that they are, will skim off the great spoils of society for themselves. Why? Because they can.
