"Fact Checking" and Belarus Political Silencing of Opposition Voices in the Media - One and the Same?

If someone yells "fire!" and there is no fire, this person is in trouble. Got that. But when differing opinions about social issues are voiced, where does a reasonable line get crossed in silencing them on social media?
In the realm of social discourse, ideas like the deep state have been reduced in much of collective understanding to aliens and sex cults run by the elite. I have little to say about these aspects of this topic - I'm not interested in documentaries about pizza and Hillary Clinton. But lets remember, concerning the deep state, 2008 and Ron Paul in the Republican primaries.
This was where I first ever heard this term. The deep state, from the stance of liberty, is a collective groups of international monetary investment groups/organizations/individuals who manipulate governmental happenings and events on a global scale. So, the topic, in the realm of politics, revolves around the influence that non-allegiant forces do and should have with regard to sovereignty and freedom of choice on a more local level.
So... when an algorithm associates this word, this topic, with a far out topic that promotes radicalism, racism and dangerous misrepresentation of occurrences going on in the world, how is this NOT the silencing of voices on a topic? Is this not just a more technologically advanced form of political gagging?
Diversification and the opening up of the tech industry to multiple sources of service is a great solution to this tyranny that Facebook, Microsoft and Google are teaming up to create. The market system is designed to diversify by competition, but this is not in alignment with the information and political power grab these organizations are currently deeply engaged with, guised in titles such as humanitarianism, equality and social justice.
Please do be open at least to the possibility that this industry is working at much beyond bettering their service. These companies have the right to exist, but techno dictators are still dictators. While they distract you with corona news and racial riot instigation, they are setting up a Western version of something quite similar to what we see in Belarus, just in a different form.
