Actually, the argument from the reactionaries in the article is very much aware that it's hard to go back and add censorship after services launch. Their argument is that before allowing any services to launch, censorship tools and suppression capabilities need to be already in place.
They already are in place, the only thing that will work is having all content that is published being approved first. Good luck with that.
