The Intercept: Government -- the FBI, In Particular -- Is Pressuring Social Media Platforms to Push Official US Propaganda on Origins of Covid and Even the Afghanistan Withdrawal, and Censor Anything that Contradicts It
After a pressure session, one Microsoft executive texted the Department of Homeland Security: "Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov't."
Fired Twitter lawyer Vijaya Gadde met monthly with the DHS to discuss how she could better act as a government censor. Lee Fang at the Intercept.THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY is quietly broadening its efforts to curb speech it considers dangerous, an investigation by The Intercept has found. Years of internal DHS memos, emails, and documents -- obtained via leaks and an ongoing lawsuit, as well as public documents -- illustrate an expansive effort by the agency to influence tech platforms.We can't have people losing faith in the government. When the government is acting incompetently and corruptly is when it is most crucial that people maintain faith in their government. Otherwise they might start demanding fundamental change!
... Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S. government has used its power to try to shape online discourse. According to meeting minutes and other records appended to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican who is also running for Senate, discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.In a March meeting, Laura Dehmlow, an FBI official, warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government.
Key Takeaways Though DHS shuttered its controversial Disinformation Governance Board, a strategic document reveals the underlying work is ongoing. DHS plans to target inaccurate information on "the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine." Facebook created a special portal for DHS and government partners to report disinformation directly. "Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov't. It's really interesting how hesitant they remain," Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, a former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly, a DHS director, in February.
Dehmlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase, stressed that "we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable."The government needs to hold the media accountable. This is fine. And I suppose President Trump in his second term will also have this power, right? This woman must be fired. Half of the FBI must be fired, and the CIA, NSA, and DOJ too.
... There is also a formalized process for government officials to directly flag content on Facebook or Instagram and request that it be throttled or suppressed through a special Facebook portal that requires a government or law enforcement email to use. At the time of writing, the "content request system" at facebook.com/xtakedowns/login is still live. DHS and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, did not respond to a request for comment. The FBI declined to comment.There, that's it. Game over. Meanwhile, Conservative, Inc., almost all on the payroll either directly or indirectly of Monster Tech, continues defending them or remaining stone-silent about this massive government-corporate conspiracy to end the First Amendment. They've got bean-shaped pools with infinity edges to put in their backyards. They're not here to fight for anyone's constitutional rights.
... DHS's mission to fight disinformation, stemming from concerns around Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election, began taking shape during the 2020 election and over efforts to shape discussions around vaccine policy during the coronavirus pandemic. Documents collected by The Intercept from a variety of sources, including current officials and publicly available reports, reveal the evolution of more active measures by DHS. According to a draft copy of DHS's Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, DHS's capstone report outlining the department's strategy and priorities in the coming years, the department plans to target "inaccurate information" on a wide range of topics, including "the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine." "The challenge is particularly acute in marginalized communities," the report states, "which are often the targets of false or misleading information, such as false information on voting procedures targeting people of color." The inclusion of the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is particularly noteworthy, given that House Republicans, should they take the majority in the midterms, have vowed to investigate. "This makes Benghazi look like a much smaller issue," said Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., a member of the Armed Services Committee, adding that finding answers "will be a top priority." How disinformation is defined by the government has not been clearly articulated, and the inherently subjective nature of what constitutes disinformation provides a broad opening for DHS officials to make politically motivated determinations about what constitutes dangerous speech.Understatement of the century.
Intercept gonna Intercept. They also include DeSantis' "Stop WOKE Act" as part of this government "censorship." Chalk it up to the Mission: Impossible of convincing rabid lefties that government censorship is bad. You can't convince them of that, because censorship is now a holy sacrament in the Church of Transnational Socialism.
The inherently subjective nature of what constitutes disinformation provides a broad opening for DHS officials to make politically motivated determinations about what constitutes dangerous speech. DHS justifies these goals -- which have expanded far beyond its original purview on foreign threats to encompass disinformation originating domestically -- by claiming that terrorist threats can be "exacerbated by misinformation and disinformation spread online." But the laudable goal of protecting Americans from danger has often been used to conceal political maneuvering. In 2004, for instance, DHS officials faced pressure from the George W. Bush administration to heighten the national threat level for terrorism, in a bid to influence voters prior to the election, according to former DHS Secretary Tom Ridge. U.S. officials have routinely lied about an array of issues, from the causes of its wars in Vietnam and Iraq to their more recent obfuscation around the role of the National Institutes of Health in funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology's coronavirus research.

Media corporations know the public lost trust in their employees' statements so they created new job titles to glorify them as residing above ordinary subjectivity and bias).

The extent to which the DHS initiatives affect Americans' daily social feeds is unclear. During the 2020 election, the government flagged numerous posts as suspicious, many of which were then taken down, documents cited in the Missouri attorney general's lawsuit disclosed. And a 2021 report by the Election Integrity Partnership at Stanford University found that of nearly 4,800 flagged items, technology platforms took action on 35 percent -- either removing, labeling, or soft-blocking speech, meaning the users were only able to view content after bypassing a warning screen. The research was done "in consultation with CISA," the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Prior to the 2020 election, tech companies including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media met on a monthly basis with the FBI, CISA, and other government representatives. According to NBC News, the meetings were part of an initiative, still ongoing, between the private sector and government to discuss how firms would handle misinformation during the election.Note the CISA began in 2018 as a small group monitoring foreign disinformation. Biden has transformed it into the censorship coordinating clearinghouse of the US, repressing the speech of US citizens.
... Under President Joe Biden, the shifting focus on disinformation has continued. In January 2021, CISA replaced the Countering Foreign Influence Task force with the "Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation" team, which was created "to promote more flexibility to focus on general MDM." By now, the scope of the effort had expanded beyond disinformation produced by foreign governments to include domestic versions. The MDM team, according to one CISA official quoted in the IG report, "counters all types of disinformation, to be responsive to current events."
... Jen Easterly, Biden's appointed director of CISA, swiftly made it clear that she would continue to shift resources in the agency to combat the spread of dangerous forms of information on social media.
... CISA has defended its burgeoning social media monitoring authorities, stating that "once CISA notified a social media platform of disinformation, the social media platform could independently decide whether to remove or modify the post." But, as documents revealed by the Missouri lawsuit show, CISA's goal is to make platforms more responsive to their suggestions. In late February, Easterly texted with Matthew Masterson, a representative at Microsoft who formerly worked at CISA, that she is "trying to get us in a place where Fed can work with platforms to better understand mis/dis trends so relevant agencies can try to prebunk/debunk as useful."
A key point on censorship:

In every society that uses it, the same story is told to make the population support it:
It's not really "censorship." It's just that your enemies are so uniquely dangerous, their views so unusually harmful, that public safety requires suppression. pic.twitter.com/DqIPocgHfN

[The Intercept investigative reporter] Lee Fang @lhfang · 1h
FBI agent Laura Dehmlow was in communications w Facebook that led to the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 over the false allegation that it was “disinfo.” This year, she met w/ Twitter/DHS to stress “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.”
Facebook and Twitter created special portals for the government to rapidly request takedowns of content. The portals, along with NGO partners used to censor a wide range of content, including obvious parody accounts and content disagreeing w gov pandemic policy.
The emails and documents show close collaboration b/w DHS & private sector. Twitter's Vijaya Gadde (fired by @elonmusk last week) met monthly with DHS to discuss censorship plans. Microsoft exec texted DHS: "Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov't"
How does DHS justify its evolving mission from countering foreign terror groups to policing domestic "disinfo" on social media? Leaked planning docs show the agency argues false information is a source of radicalization & violence.

Interesting timeline with that hamfisted attempt at creating a government appointed misinformation she-czar in April 2022. My guess is she was part of that effort, and the effort undoubtedly continues, but without the ugly public face of Nina Jankowicz.

Never mind the daily violent rhetoric used by the left and their political and media toadies, it is only when mouth breathing troglodytes use it, i.e., Trump supporters say anything against this regime it is now considered violence!

Well then. That means, of course, that it is flatly illegal. The government is not allowed to solicit non-government entities to do on its behalf that which it itself is forbidden by law from doing.
But we're post-law, and so here are.

1. The dilithium crystal that powers all conspiracy theories is the belief that the authorities are running a cover up - a lie.
I wonder why conspiracy theories are tending recently.
2. related - There was discussion recently about the subway pusher "being allowed back on the subway when he gets out of prison." and asking "why are criminals even allowed to ride the subway."
What surprised me was how much support this argument got from people I would have thought more of. This is how they get their foot in the door - first justify the safety need, then add the facial recognition hardware, then the apps on phones.... They always need a justification.
Trump and Jan 6 were pumped up as justification for all this in the post. (maybe Ace said that, i haven't read it all yet.)

They want to "crack down" on election year misinformation, but Hillary Clinton, the woman who put the IC in motion in spreading misinformation is still walking around free.
And you can't even get the guy spreading the lies for Hillary Clinton for lying to the FIB, because the FIB gave him a salary, and that turned a plot against the president as just "mismanagement".
Nobody involved in backing up waves of dump trucks and dumping misinformation on the American people will probably spend as much time in prison as somebody who posts something it is not in the government's interest to acknowledge on their Facebook page.
The latest regulations of "misinformation" suggests that you don't even need an intent to deceive to "commit a crime".

It's even almost like it's hard to see if the concept called "free speech" that was so important to the Democrats in the 20th century is within the Overton Window.
So much has the disinformation of the Democrats has convinced people that the main criteria of speech is whether it avoids being some authority's definition of "misinformation" or "disinformation".

The man who attacked Mr Pelosi was not motivated by the words, deeds and actions of Democrats and Liberals. He was motivated by the words, deeds and actions of Republicans and Conservatives.
Evil resides on only one side of the aisle.
Democrats would have prevented the guy from getting a gun in the first place if they could
Did Bernie Sanders urge him to shoot anybody? Did Bernie Sanders rail about election integrity? Did Bernie urge him to stop the steal and blame Jewish space lasers for whatever? Did Bernie make commercials firing a rifle at a range at a target showing a democrat?

He's sort of reckless anyway, it would be very easy to get near him. If you don't think someone would kill Musk to get control of the "narrative", you're naive.
The people that were saying "who cares about Twitter, I don't use it!" really have no idea just how important a communication tool it has become.

The American Revolution was fought for just such a reason. A bunch of rich and powerful people tired of getting forced to do a far off capital's bidding without being able to play in the game. Lexington and Concord were their rallying cry.
Funny to think that Twitter's taking down of the Babylon Bee satire account, was the trigger that made Musk finally say enough. Now Meta is on the ropes, and probably about to become MySpace.
If the GOP fails to do what they are running on - not the GOPe, we know what they will do - then it probably gets really ugly. Forcing the entire GOP to support a formal budgeting process is the first and very difficult step.

The government may not regulate speech, and it can not do indirectly what it cannot do directly.
Anything else's is total abandonment of essential liberty that defines our nation.

I don't doubt that the Party & State will lean on any number of people to fund and build a new walled-garden platform for the media (this is who Twitter is for).
It probably won't even take long. They already have the tech knowledge from Twitter, and soon they'll have a large number of its ideological enforcers on the market after layoffs.
But until then - they can't just get off Twitter. For both professional reasons, and because they are addicts. And it'll be fun to see these dull-normal hothouse flowers have to contend with alternate viewpoints for the first time in 15 years.

@Joe: Unfortunately, it's not that big a deal. What this boils down to is two things: admissibility of evidence and Section 1983. If someone (like a cellmate) is working with the police and the police have him interrogate a suspect in a manner that would violate Miranda if they did it, then the person's testimony against that suspect might be ruled inadmissible at a criminal trial. That's it. On Section 1983, the government can violate someone's civil rights by acting through a non-government actor; the penalty is that the government (i.e., the taxpayers) might pay damages and there might be an injunction that they could violate pretty much with impunity. Reaching any of these government actors personally is theoretically possible, but very unlikely. So there's not really much to stop a government official from doing whatever the hell he wants to do.

For such a dire, desperate absolute struggle, there are no holds barred, we must do everything to survive and put off this vague, undefined, nebulous future doom that always is 100 years out. LOOK AT THE SACRIFICES THE GREATEST GENERATION MADE TO FIGHT HITLER, can you not make the same sacrifices to save our children from climate doom?

They are probably colluding with ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC to keep pushing 1/6 .
Up until last week you couldn't get on those pages without being inundated with 1/6 stories. Now it's mostly the midterms with a few 1/6 stories sprinkled in.
No doubt 1/6 stories will be back after next week.

Greenwald was and remains a silly person. Listen to him talk at length, and it's pretty obvious that he's no deep thinker.
But in this day and age, it doesn't take much to stand out from the pack in the media, and it basically comes down to being "not a piece of shit." Not being a piece of shit takes a measure of moral courage in that environment.
So Greenwald stands out. So does Taibbi. Liberals of yore, *juuust* dumb enough to have meant what they said about civil liberties, but not see that none of their friends did.

Well, I agree--up to the point about burning other people.
But I think that why can't I have the "free expression" of starting a fire with my lunch bag in a public place?
In order to create the "free expression" by burning, they had to silence not-as-likely "free expressions" of people burning things that weren't symbolic.
Which means that at the same time as arguing that burning was "free expression", they were still drastically limiting those things you could burn *as* expression.
Why can't public urination be "free expression"? Why can't you piss on a flag as well as burn it? Then why can't I piss on city hall? The cop station? A stop sign?
The fuzzy-headedness of Democratic politics has been putting us on a course for destruction.

John Adams himself defended the troops at the Massacre, so even those who were working for independence didn't see that event as something that could not be treated within normal procedures.
The main and cruicial divinging point was that to win the French and Indian war, the British viceroy used the colonial governments as means to raise money and troops, which gave them the means to discuss what was possible and how the deed would be done.
Post war, Parliament decided to scrap this and not even give the colonies representatives to argue their side, and this removal of a right they were de-facto given did not go over well. Most other provocations stemmed from this.

Its one of the better movies of this year, at least in the dumb action movie category.
Basic plot: cruel British governor's wife kidnaps a child because she's cruel and evil and British. Guy who acts as protector of the village tries to get her back. Fighting against him is an equally capable Indian man who works in the British police service but is not all he seems.

Everybody forgets, but the justification for the first 2-week lockdown was to slow the spread so that the hospital system didn't get overwhelmed and you had people dying because there weren't ICU beds for them. At the time, most people weren't saying that it would stop the disease, just that it would slow down its transmission. The same total number of people would wind up getting it, but just not all at once. That was the stated theory, anyway.

It has become clear that all the anti-Covid measures were failures and made it worse, all of them.
From what I've been reading, enough data is in to say this. Coof was going to be a two-wave respiratory pandemic. These things are usually two or three wavers. Coof was going to be a 2-waver, and would've been over by the end of Winter 2021.
Excess mortality, overall, wasn't going to be that much. Coof mostly killed very old and very sick people who were likely to die of something else soon. This pull forward effect can now be clearly seen.
Then they started trying to 'save us". They made things far, far, worse.

Perhaps, but they committed regular atrocities including rape and plundering against civilians, including the indiscriminate bombing of coastal towns. Just ask descendants of the people of Falmouth. They also routinely executed captured soldiers. Read the Congress' commission report from 1777. While some pass it off as propaganda, it was largely verified. The British especially went scorched earth against the South. I grew up with a guy whose great grandfather told us stories about how their ancestors chased the Hessian's into the mountains and killed every one they could find due to the brutality they inflicted on civilians during the war. There is a lot that goes untold from our Revolution.

To hold any important position in the Colonies you had to be born and appointed in Spain, or at least of Spanish parents, to be "Criollo" was to be born in the colonies. That had been breaking down, but Simon Bolivar went to Spain for his education in part to find a Spanish wife, who unfortunately died of yellow fever.
Partially it was to make sure the rulers in the colonies had close ties to Spain, and partially to have a dumping ground for all the children of important people who didn't have a place in limited spots available to the upper class and minor nobility in Spain.

I honestly don't think the Brits deserve much hate for the Boston Massacre. A local asshole, known for being an asshole, went and taunted some Brits. He got a smack for his trouble. The asshole then went and got a mob to defend his honor. About 50 people attacked their sentinel, so Capt Preston brought out some guys to disperse the crowd. Capt Preston was standing between his men and the crowd, trying to calm things down. His men panicked and fired over the crowd. Preston did NOT give the order. Unfortunately, the crowd was large enough that some people in the back were killed and some were hurt.
I'm glad for the eventual outcome of course.

The local British army faced the animosity that they did because the Crown passed some pretty intolerable stuff (Stamp act, the Townson Act) after already extracting a lot from the colonists with our loyal cooperation in the French and Indian War - bottom line - we were a source of ready cash to pay back war debts, a cash source that was in short supply to the Crown - and insolence from upstart subjects in faraway colonies rankled them to the point of deciding upon confiscation.
To get your pockets picked to pay for adventures you had no right to dispute over and be treated as less than any other subject of the Crown was just too much - but add on the final late stage oppression enforced by occupying troops - Rebellion!
