Mollie Hemingway: ‘Federal and State Governments Fund and Promote Censorship … They Direct Big Tech Companies to Censor American Speech and Debate’
EXCERPT:
HEMINGWAY: “Federal and state governments fund and promote censorship and blacklisting technology. They direct big tech companies to censor American speech and debate. Academic institutions, such as Stanford and the University of Texas, are given large grants not to defend free speech, but to conduct research on so-called disinformation for use by the censorship regime. Nonprofit think tanks, such as the Aspen Institute, host so-called disinformation seminars to groom journalists, to publish pro-censorship propaganda, and to suppress important stories, such as the Hunter Biden laptop bombshell. Nonprofit censorship groups, such as the Global Disinformation Index and for-profit censorship businesses, such as NewsGuard, produce widely used censorship tools and blacklists to favor left-wing media while working to silence media that fight false narratives.”
