That is influence, I am talking about power. You can be powerful and still have no one believe the crap that comes out your mouth because they have to shut up or face consequences.
I would argue that they're the same, or at least that you can't have one without the other. In order to be powerful you have to be able to influence people.

Which is much easier when it happens without them shouting at you from the TV. The people turn off CNN and Fox but Google has them by the balls and knows more about them and how to steer them than any other media could ever have hoped for. Why directly tell you what to think? That just builds resistance. Let them search on their own and arrive at their own conclusion - which the search results you want them to see, of course.

They're not doing anything the Soviets didn't used to do. Difference is that when Stalin was around the world was a lot bigger and means of communication so much more limited that, unless Stalin personally wronged you or someone close to you, you wouldn't even have an inkling of what the Communist Party were really up to.

Now, means of communication are so vast and intricate that it's almost impossible to completely censor anybody. The evidence of that is that we know what Google is up to whereas if their censorship techniques were complete and fool-proof you'd never hear about it.

And yet it doesn't matter a single bit. Speak up all you want. Good luck finding many places where that's even possible anymore. As you said, commie tactics. All it takes is them singling the loudest and most prominent talkers out and ruin their shit IRL. And the legislation plays along. In a world where wrongthink means prison, what does it matter if one or a dozen fuckers can speak up? They get tried and lynched by the court of public opinion first and if that's not enough it'll be the state doing a Stephen Yaxley-Lennon on them.

That's why anonymity is so important, and why they're low-key pushing to take it away.

And they are successful at it.
