their centralized censorship power is crucial to advancing U.S. foreign policy.

Thanks for confirming that I have been completely right to view silicon valley censorship as soft US Imperialism that it happily wields against its own allies as well as its enemies.

I'm not sure that the likes of Google, Amazon and Apple even recognise allies or simply view them as more easily-exploited resources.

I'm not sure the US government feels any differently.

soft US Imperialism

More like Fascism. The media/USG/corporate collusion to control communications and everything else is textbook fascism.

you mean communism? funny communists killed way more people and ruled as totalitarian propaganda states much longer than any fascist states ever did, yet the analogy people always bring up is muh fascists.

It's not an analogy. It's actual, real-time Fascism in action.

Because fascism is corporatism by other means. Truthfully what we have is neither 100% fascism or communism but it has elements of both. I would say it's closer to fascism. Fascism might be better though, since we the people would have some direct say over what the corpos did. Right now the systems of control are obscured by layers of bureaucracy.

It's complicated, but it appears to be Russian and Qatari imperialism that the UK wields against the US.

Got a genuine chuckle, because there are people who legitimately believe this.

Big tech is indistinguishable from official government intel agencies. Google founders Brin and Page were funded by DARPA grants at Stanford and Google maps started as a company called Key Hole founded by an NRO agent, who would go on to found another company called Niantic and make Pokemon Go. The LifeLog project was shut down the same time Facebook launched. Amazon is known to hire spooks. There are doubtlessly more connections.

This could also be used as groundwork to justify USG stepping in to stop the billionaire African-American immigrant from disrupting Twitter.

The CIA has always been the corrupt hand of big corporations trying to control the world. 60 years ago it was Haliburton, Boeing, and the like. Now, it's expanded to included these tech cunts.

My god, will this transparent gaslighting, trotting out "former intel officials" to put the fear of Russia into everyone never end?

The desperate need for the fascist corporate press/USG axis to regain total control over all information is getting drastic.
