There is a lot of space in-between complete censorship and freedom to be curious. If we were already at complete censorship, she would have been silenced already. Issuing a warning about the trend while we're on the ride towards censorship does not mean there is no trend. That is what she is doing here. She is raising the alarm.

If we had to wait to hear an alarm until silencing was the only possibility, there wouldn't be an alarm anymore.
