The Empire Strikes Back
States are taking on Big Tech and the swamp doesn't like it.
The great debate over free speech that legacy media brought upon itself has now reached fever pitch in the age of the internet. Yet the two cases now in front of the Supreme Court are about more than censorship.1 They are about truth, no matter how it’s attacked.
The Twitter Files, not to mention subsequent revelations, have left no doubt that the online echo chambers have been gaslighting on an unprecedented scale.2 Russian collusion, Hunter’s laptop, Covington, COVID, Nord Stream—nearly everything you’ve been told by a Democrat/Media complex has been a lie.3
Worse, it appears that which would have corrected the record was deliberately suppressed by an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’ operating through a few oligopolistic ‘state actors,’ reinforcing how reality can be threatened by omission or commission.
So when former President Donald Trump says “90% of our problems in this country would be solved” if the media were honest, he’s not just talking about censorship—that which isn’t said, but the falsehoods that are.4
