Glenn Greenwald, a man of the Left, says the three media entities most devoted to online censorship are CNN’s media reporters, NBC’s “disinformation team,” and NYT’s tech reporters. The latter are now laying the groundwork for making encrypted apps Signal & Telegram the next targets.
This type of government censorship of the Internet happened before — in the Clinton and Bush administration.
FB and Twitter united to censor the NY Post pre-election reporting on the Bidens. The report was accurate and this a shocking breach of journalistic ethics and truth in reporting. They removed POTUS from the internet and destroyed Parler with the help of Apple and Google. It is a huge escalation.
In the two clips below, you can hear two men of the Left discuss their concerns about how the definition of ‘terrorist’ is being expanded to include almost any American who resists. They believe that’s what the DC officials did as an excuse to go into foreign nations and drone people.

The 3 journalistic units most devoted to demanding online censorship are CNN’s media reporters, NBC’s “disinformation team,” and NYT’s tech reporters.

When the internet and encryption proliferated in the 1990s, the Clinton Admin seized on the Oklahoma City bombing to demand back-door access to all encryption. Bush & Obama used 9/11 to radically expand internet surveillance.
Now it’s CNN/NBC/NYT journalists who take the lead.

THREE MAJOR EVENTS
Three events in the last 3 months have been major attacks on a free internet: FB & Twitter uniting to censor NY Post pre-election reporting on the Bidens (a shocking breach); the removal of POTUS from the internet; the monopolistic destruction of Parler. A huge escalation.

You may not agree with everything they say, but they make some great points:
The newest episode of BEN AND GLENN’S AFTER HOURS, my podcast with @ben_awareness, is now up. It covers all this: the Capitol riot, the orgy of censorship in response, demands for a new War on Terror and new “domestic terror” laws (for subscribers only):https://t.co/M91LdCYiNG

DEFINITELY CONSIDER LISTENING TO THIS SHORT CLIP
Here’s an excerpt from our latest AFTER HOURS episode, where my podcast partner, former Sanders campaign organizer @ben_awareness, warns of the dangers of the liberal attempt to expand the term “terrorism” and introduce new anti-Terror laws domestically:https://t.co/M91LdCYiNG pic.twitter.com/x795Ycd6DL

ALL INDEPENDENT MEDIA WILL BE GONE
Every venue for communication and information dissemination that is independent – meaning outside ruling class & corporate media control – will be targeted for censorship.
Early today, NYT targeted Telegram and Signal. Now this: AP warns about podcasts.https://t.co/WJTMUaFCSG

“Major social platforms have been cracking down on the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories…and expanded their efforts in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But Apple and Google have left open a major loophole for this material: Podcasts.”https://t.co/qy7aARh7qK
