Mike Benz breaks down how the government, NGOs, and Big Tech work together for censorship

Foundation for Freedom Online Executive Director Mike Benz joined John Solomon for an in-depth breakdown of “the whole society model” of censorship. He detailed the timeline of censorship since 2014, including stories about Ukraine, the 2016 election, and Russiagate. He also described how government agencies “cornered” Facebook and Google and “browbeat” them into demonetizing disfavored news sites, which Benz said “killed…alternative news” because the government chose “winners and losers of who’s credible.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
