America's Secret Government By Proxy

How to control Information:

  • Stop ideas (censorship)
  • Force other ideas (redirection) justifications
  • Justify this control with propaganda
  • The US government has incentivized a group of organizations to do just that
  • "Big tech censorship" and other control measures were not the result of free-market phenomena

Our Proxy Government

  • Content moderation is often referred to as "redirection" or "CounterSpeech initiatives," defended by the intelligence agency conglomerate USAID (United States Agency for International Development) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
  • The School of Communication at American University will define and describe the growing threat of violent white supremacist extremist disinformation, evaluate attitudinal inoculation as a strategy for communication to combat the threat, and develop a suite of operational tools for use by practitioners and stakeholders.
  • Biden directed his national security team to lead a 100-day comprehensive review of U.S. Government efforts to address domestic terrorism, which has evolved into the most urgent terrorism threat the United States faces today.

If Government Grants You a Part of Its Tax Revenue to Perform Its Tasks, Are You a Government Official?

  • The Department of Homeland Security granted $10 million to the private sector CVE community in 2017
  • AU content is built into Google's search function, meaning it has become a feature of Google Search products
  • This funding resulted in a feature on Google's platform-a feature that Google did not have to fund itself
  • Google's competitors, who are not afforded this privilege from the state, are then slandered by the state for not having it
