EPOCH TV | Mike Benz: Inside the West’s Censorship Industry—And the Funding Behind It
EPOCH TV | Mike Benz: Inside the West’s Censorship Industry—And the Funding Behind It : PART 1
Original release date: February 2023
“Whoever can control the Department of Dirty Tricks is able to use it to remove all opposition,” says Mike Benz.
He is the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online and a former State Department diplomat under the Trump administration.
The Twitter Files were just the tip of the iceberg, says Benz, who has been tracking the rise of the West’s censorship industry for years.
“22 million tweets were categorized as misinformation for purposes of takedowns or throttling through [the Election Integrity Partnership],” Benz said.
“It wasn’t just government individual takedown requests. It was government pressure … to create whole new categories of things to censor and then arming them with the artificial intelligence to then automatically scan and ban the new thought violations.”
In this comprehensive two-part interview, Benz breaks down the major players in today’s censorship regime and how tactics once used abroad were deployed to target Americans and so-called election “delegitimization” or COVID “misinformation” online.
