Former Intelligence Officials, Citing Russia, Say Big Tech Monopoly Power is Vital to National Security

When the U.S. security state announces that Big Tech's centralized censorship power must be preserved, we should ask what this reveals about whom this regime serves.

This is the union of power — the U.S. Security State, Big Tech and their corporate media allies — that gave us Russigate and so many other journalistic frauds, including the pre-election suppression of reporting on Joe Biden's activities in Ukraine and China by falsely labelling it "Russian disinformation.” When these operatives announce that it as vital that nothing be done to reel in or reform Big Tech's power to censor the internet, we should pay attention to what this reveals about who is part of this union of power and for whose benefit this power is being deployed.
