The above screenshot is of prominent tech journalist Taylor Lorenz screenshotting a 4chan post where some claims "[REDACTED] are going to lock down the entire internet very soon."
Can you guess what word was redacted?
If you answered "Jews", bzzt. Sorry, but that's not quite right.
The correct answer is "kikes". It's the "kikes" who are "going to lock down the entire internet very soon."*
Lorenz, to be fair, does make sure to point out one area of disagreement with the 4channer she's promoting. She thinks that "shut down" is not going to be literally true (rather, the internet will be "censored into oblivion"). But on the whole "kikes" thing, no correction apparently is needed. (And of course, even with the whole "kikes" things, you still get people saying "but it's just anti-Zionism!")
* Fun fact: When I told my wife the answer wasn't Jews but that it was "close", her next guess was "globalists". And I was like, "oh, you're reaching for euphemisms and that's going in the wrong direction here."
