Mike Benz - Deep Dive - Inside the Censorship Industrial Complex | SRS #132

Mike Benz, a former cybersecurity official within the Trump administration, discusses the "Censorship Industry," an intricate web of entities he believes are working to silence dissenting voices online. Benz alleges that the U.S. State Department, alongside other government agencies, private organisations, and tech companies, are collaborating to control the flow of information, particularly surrounding topics like energy policy and elections. He contends that this "blob" is attempting to influence public opinion through a variety of means, including pressuring tech companies to censor certain narratives and using foreign aid to promote censorship regulations abroad. Benz believes this agenda aims to suppress populist movements worldwide and bolster the influence of the U.S. foreign policy establishment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
