Michael Shellenberger's opening statement on the Twitter Files

Michael Shellenberger's opening statement on the Twitter Files and the censorship industrial complex:

"The censorship industrial complex combines established methods of psychological manipulation some developed by the US military during the global war on terror, with highly sophisticated tools from computer science, including artificial intelligence. The complex's leaders are driven by their fear that the internet and social media platforms empower populist, alternative, fringe personalities and views which they regard destabilizing."
