Jackson's decision to not voice his concerns and doubts, choosing instead to align with the group's apparent consensus despite his personal misgivings, is an example of self-censorship. This is a common symptom of groupthink, where individuals withhold dissenting views or counter-arguments for the sake of group harmony.
