You are coming across here as a terrible elitist. Language is unnecessary. Referring to people as the "unwashed masses" and then a comparison to chimpanzees. In the context, this reads like de-humanization.

If we cannot trust the masses to inform themselves then democracy is dead, with it relying on on informed voters. If people are only allowed to see the pre-approved narratives then we get into the situation where the WHO claiming that covid-19 being airborne is misinformation and the dumb proles spreading messages to the contrary get banned (the former happend, the second thankfully did not).
