Ai Weiwei criticises 'fragile' state of Western democracy following Sky News interview
Briefly

In the context of censorship in the West, there was a prevailing illusion that the West embodied greater freedom of speech and press, portraying itself as a society with minimal censorship. Yet, I believe that censorship persists wherever there is power.

Criticism and dissenting thoughts that diverge from the established values and corporate interests are often subjected to censorship to varying degrees.
