Consider the vague line between "free speech zone" and "dictated speech zone". It isn't like the dictatorships advertise the fact. And even ostensibly "free" zones tend to have that charming "voting" system, where too much deviation from the popular view means censorship.

So you could be in the middle of a conversation, thinking it's a free exchange of opinions, when it's actually an insidious patchwork of censorship and manipulation.
