These studies are pretty much worthless. Of course it "works" if you remove your political opposition. At least in the short term. Why do a study if you could have just asked any other dictator?

What does "working" even mean? More support for a political party? Less resistance?

They’re worthless because you don’t like their outcome? There are others, this is a very well researched space.

You don’t have to and shouldn’t take my word for it. Study after study shows that radical ideas can successfully be removed from a platform though censorship.
