Contrary to common belief, the age of censorship has not been replaced by an age of transparency. In our post-repressive societies, transparency is a new and efficient—because unnoticeable—form of censorship. We fail to see it because we remain trapped in modern (prohibitionist) conception of censorship. But originally, the institution of the census did not intent to forbid, but to count and compute people’s life in order to govern them more easily.
