Libby Emmons at The Post Millenial reports on more corruption and censorship, with various tech platforms colluding with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS):
DHS LEAKS: Starting in 2020, DHS began meeting with Twitter, Facebook,
Wikipedia and more monthly to coordinate 'content moderation' efforts
Prior
to 2020, it was reported that DHS met with Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, and
other platforms in order to coordinate "content moderation"
operations.
The Department of Homeland Security
has been working to influence big tech platforms. This became originally
evident when the Biden administration launched the ill-fated Disinformation
Governance Board early in 2022, but has been a focus of their efforts even
beyond that now-defunct unit, and before.
Missouri Attorney General Eric
Schmitt filed a lawsuit that revealed via appended meeting minutes that former
Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, who was formerly an official with DHS, told
a DHS director in February 2022 that "Platforms have got to get
comfortable with gov't. It's really interesting how hesitant they remain."
This according to The
Intercept.
Prior to 2020, it was reported that
DHS met with Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, and other platforms in order to
coordinate "content moderation" operations. These meetings were part
of an ongoing initiative which saw collusion and collaboration between DHS and big
tech to determine how "misinformation" would be dealt with on those
platforms.
Areas that came under this purview
included the withdrawal from Afghanistan, undertaken disastrously by President
Joe Biden in August 2021 as well as the origins of the Covid-19 virus, which
became controversial enough that users were kicked off social media platforms
for expressing the hypothesis that the virus originated in a Wuhan, China
lab. A Senate report found last week that this was the most likely
scenario. Information that could undermine trust in financial institutions was
also targeted.
The Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency Act, signed by President Donald Trump, opened
the door to this as it formed a new branch within DHS, which then undertook to
deal with online "disinformation." CISA stated its understanding that
the mission of that branch of DHS was "evolved," and meant to
communicate their concerns on "disinformation" to social media
companies. Social media companies took DHS' word for it.
There’s lots more here, including exposing how they did it / continue to do it.
