On a quick side note, I'm distinguishing here between conspiracy theories and attempts to de-platform and silence or censor those who espouse any politically critical viewpoint to even a hair to the right of Trotsky which annoys or contradicts the diktats of the Ruling Class. Of concern here is the latter.
So when governments and social media platforms actively and openly censor what they are pleased to call "conspiracy theories", it must be asked why and what are they afraid of if that which is being censored are lies or nonsense. Just as why are they so terrified of the general public seeing or reading "harmful information" that justifies draconian censoring. Does harmful information make PC's, laptops or smartphones explode in the users face or cause other physical or psychological injuries? Are our betters desperate to protect us from reading the 21st century high-tech King in Yellow which would make us all hopelessly mad?
Then this is the case of virologists, epidemiologists, doctors and nurses who questioned the mandatory COVID-19 national lockdowns along with the mandatory wearing of facemasks, latex gloves and standing 6 feet/2 meters apart social distancing restrictions. Even quoting the CDC can get one censored for misinformation to the point where the CDC is refusing to release certain information as they make the asinine claim that information can be somehow "misused".
There are three levels of this censorship and silencing-
Then there is the managerial government's need to control all things including the thoughts and actions of their serfs. That the proles and serfs realize that they're being lied to while being forced to say the lie is true is all part of breaking them by humiliating them. In Germany, one can be arrested for questioning the official government dogma of climate change (whatever that happens to mean this week). Arrest and a show trial or a government official Karen to publicly shame dissidents are useful tools to frighten the masses into obedience. In this, the Ruling Class, the managerial bureaucrats and politicians, their non-profit foundation and think-tank advisors have no ideological bent or dogma. This is purely the mechanics of power where ideology is nothing more than a blueprint or schematic and is chosen as strictly functional.
So last but not least in censorship and silencing, in fact the most egregious of all, we have the corporate vassals. Many give a pass to the government on this and focus all their ire on the big, bad, corporations but they may realize that in this censorship, they lose customers/clients and in doing so, lose money but they have a way out of get woke, go broke. This is to any sensible person as counterproductive to any business as it would be to boo the bad guy puppets at a puppet show but it doesn't matter in the economy of the new world order. It serves the government well as a diversion away from the fact that they are in fact pulling the strings. Then it also gives the government the plausible deniability of "it's a private business, they can do what they want and we can't tell them what to do" the government quietly does end runs around the constitution. Unless of course, the issue is a bakery refusing to bake a cake for a same sex wedding and "muh private business" goes right out the window because...reasons.

P.S.: It would seem contradictory to write here about censorship and not being censored but there is a reason for this. Written blogs, especially wall of text type blogs, mostly aren't considered the "in thing" anymore as the real influencers and big name e-celebs are on YouTube, Tiktok, Twitter or X if you will, among other popular platforms. Then there is the definition of who is an influencer which would be those with a large following, large number of likes to dislikes ratio and with a sizeable interaction in the comments section. These are the ones that attract attention and can face being demonetized, accounts deleted or facing de-platforming in other areas. So this blog fits none of these description with no followers, few readers and no comments and as such can fly below the radar even when pushing the edge of the envelope with the TOS. I would not be surprised to learn that most of those who read this blog are law enforcement, NGO's like the SPLC or ADL, or woke inquisitors searching out up and coming heretics to burn at the stake. But even they aren't stupid enough to invoke the Streisand Effect and if they bother to make any mention of this blog at all, it's to whine or grumble about it in their own echo chambers which I don't care about.
