- ehinson 5y agoIt's odd to me that people, such as the author of the Guardian article, so casually find the origin of the censorship in 'surveillance capitalism' or corporations, even as they also hold that corporations are singularly motivated by money. The existence of Operation Choke Point makes pretty clear that in fact a self-appointed group of questing govt officials are the ones motivated to impose censorship. The existence of monopoly financial platforms give them the means.
