On MSNBC and “Authoritarianism”

MSNBC opinion columnist Zeesham Aleem just penned the latest in what’s become a parade of hit pieces from mainstream outlets directed at me and other independent journalists. Even by the low standards of the genre, “How the populist left has become vulnerable to the populist right” is a humorous standout. It argues that after I spent a month detailing how the FBI, DHS, DOD, CIA and other agencies built a system for mass delivery of censorship requests to firms like Twitter and Facebook, I helped fuel a subculture that “could funnel people from leftism to authoritarianism.”

Last summer, I mocked the EU a bit for setting up a new office in Silicon Valley, and sending an official here to “liaise with Silicon Valley companies affected by EU tech regulation,” noting how it felt weird to have EU internet police setting up shop in Silicon Valley. Given that, I was a bit surprised that the new office invited me to “moderate” a panel discussion last month about the Digital Services Act (DSA), a bill I have regularly criticized and which I think is going to be dangerous for free speech on the internet.

The U.S. Regime Made Me A Non-Person

Honored that Eric Zeusse mentioned my ‘blog’ but upset by the censorship of all that are reporting the truth!

My thoughts when someone says censorship is okay because it’s a “private company”. Especially social media when I’ve been researching, for years, about how the government is embedded within their companies.

Surprised that my entry shows up in Google but not Ecosia. Disappointed because I was referring Ecosia as a Google replacement due to Google’s algorithm censorship!
