The 2016 trouble were triggered by the murder of Harambe. Is it possible that the 2024 trouble were triggered (escalated, really) murder of Peanut and Fred?
My dad still swears it was the red bull and snickers and not the medical ...
Wild that someone would think the Red Bull and Snickers are doing it directly without going through the some-ingredients-in-these-products-are-affecting-your-body route.

So, once again, DHMO is the chemical we need to fear.
From a certain point of view - isn't this exactly what happened here?
I often go into a Git worktree of one of my projects and mess around a bit to try something out. If I find it's not working, I tell git to discard the changes with git checkout . and git clean -df. What I'm saying is exactly “on second thought, don’t do anything" - while what happens in practice is that Git restores all files to their HEAD status and removes all the new files that are not already in HEAD.
Of course, the difference is that I already have all the work I want to keep under source control, so these changes I've discarded really were that - just changes. He, on the other hand, "was just playing with the source control option" - so these "changes" he was discarding really were all his work. But Git did not know that.
I mean, considering how many times villains have tried to poison the city's water supply - I'd say there probably is.

So we're going back to silencing them, except instead of going after these people themselves you want to go after the channels they use to spread their words. This is what I meant when I said "creative limitation". Instead of treating the principle of the freedom of speech as the broad imperative protecting the spread of ideas - even ideas you don't like, especially ideas you don't like - you interpret it in a narrow technical fashion so that you can find ways around it.
People will keep having kids even if most of them will die
"even if"? Biologically, knowing that most of your offspring are going to die is a reason to have as many kids as possible.
