THE US GOVERNMENT HAS GONE FROM FIGHTING MOSCOW, RUSSIA TO FIGHTING MOSCOW,
IDAHO.


ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRESS SPOTLIGHT: SHINING A LIGHT ON THE CENSORSHIP-INDUSTRIAL
COMPLEX

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning: The US government is targeting you.

It has moved from fighting ISIS recruiters and Russian bots to censoring and
de-platforming ordinary Americans and public figures they don’t like. Funded by
billions of taxpayer dollars, the Censorship-Industrial Complex is using direct
coercion along with the most sophisticated AI tools to manipulate people, label
social media posts, and discredit factual information. Just because they don’t
agree with them. The Complex is a network of government agencies, academic
institutions, and NGOs that are censoring American citizens on a whole host of
issues, all without their knowledge. Everyone, no matter where they are on the
political spectrum, must take notice and help end this assault on our right to
free speech.


SUNSHINE: THE BEST DISINFECTANT

what we want


 * SHUT IT DOWN
   
   Congress must immediately cut off funding to the censors and investigate
   their activities. If you work for one of these organizations that is
   censoring Americans, you can blow the whistle.
   
   


 * SHINE THE LIGHT
   
   Congress should mandate instant reporting of all conversations between social
   media executives, government employees, and contractors concerning content
   moderation.
   
   


 * TRANSPARENCY FOR FREEDOM
   
   Revise Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to require social media
   platforms to disclose their content moderation decisions, including when
   users are suspended or permanently de-platformed. Read more.

THE ISSUE SUMMARY

THE CENSORSHIP-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

President Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex's unwarranted
influence on society. Today, we face the censorship-industrial complex run by
tech elites.

THREATENING OUR LIBERTIES

The censorship-industrial complex endangers our liberties and democracy. Federal
government-sponsored censorship is on the rise in the US.

SHADOW CENSORSHIP

American citizens are being censored without their knowledge on issues like
COVID origins, vaccines, and climate change.

CORE CIVIL RIGHTS

Right or wrong, Americans have the right to express their ideas.

BLACKLISTS AND BANS

The censorship-industrial complex is creating blacklists of disfavored people
and pressuring social media platforms to censor and even ban them.

PRESSURING PRIVATE INTERESTS

The US government funds organizations that pressure advertisers to boycott news
media and social media platforms that refuse to censor or spread disinformation.

CENSORS DECIDE WHAT YOU CAN SEE

Censors are overly confident in their ability to discern truth from falsity and
abuse their power.

PSYCHOLOGICAL MANIPULATION

 The censorship-industrial complex combines psychological manipulation with
highly sophisticated computer science tools.

THE MORE, THE SCARIER

The censorship-industrial complex includes organizations with ties to the
Department of Defense, the C.I.A., and other intelligence agencies.

FAULTY FACT CHECKING

The censorship-industrial complex manipulates information under the guise of
"fact-checking" and discredits valid hypotheses as conspiracy theories.

MILITARY-GRADE MONITORING

 The government is using military-grade monitoring and speech-countering
techniques to counter what they believe is "misinformation" without a terrorist
or extremist predicate.
