Read_810 - Censorship in America

"The mechanisms enforcing this modern censorship are not confined to private sectors or individual platforms but are significantly directed and influenced by the U.S. government itself. This intertwining of state powers with censorship activities marks a troubling departure from traditional American values, where free speech has been held sacred."

~ Dr. Joseph Mercola

The troubling and dangerous emergence of a modern censorship system has taken hold in the west. A partnership of the governments, the military industrial complex, tech giants, and establishment news media have together subtly transformed the internet from a freedom-promoting platform into a tightly monitored, controlled, and censored environment. Could this be the end of free speech online, and what, if anything, can we do about it? All this and more as we cover Dr. Joseph Mercola's excellent article and expand in the Guy's Take to follow.

"The world is not sliding, but galloping into a new transnational dystopia. This development has not been properly recognized outside of national security circles. It has been hidden by secrecy, complexity and scale. The internet, our greatest tool of emancipation, has been transformed into the most dangerous facilitator of totalitarianism we have ever seen."
