What censorship are you referring to? Streaming services as far as I know can show anything that isn't illegal. Is that not the case?


Streaming services can show anything...sometimes with supply side cartel repercussions that completely undermine the company...such as the case with Parler.

Content providers are censored by streaming providers for political reasons. Hate speech laws in England & Europe criminalizes (jail time) people for saying the wrong things about protected political groups.

Banks & the Canadian government have criminalized people donating to the Trucker protest. The protest leaders are still held in detention. Also journalists have doxxed the people who donate.

January 6th protesters are help in prison & finances ruined by having to fight a federal case for attending a protest. And if you want to call it an insurrection to excuse the authoritarian response China does the same against people who protests there.
