Slater criticizes this approach as authoritarian, emphasizing the paradox that happening in tandem with a crackdown on online speech is a government that struggles to handle real-world issues objectively.

Slater contends that such measures are unlikely to quell the unrest or the protests, warning instead that these policies may provoke further backlash.
