Technological systems have begun to decide who speaks and who is silenced. If we can look around and see the cage bars, it is from that moment when we value ‘free speech.’
Pavel Durov is a man of strong strategic focus and self-discipline. The company he created, Telegram, is at the forefront of an information control war, and arguably Durov is one of a small group who grasp the dynamic and the true threat to free speech.
PAVEL DUROV – “I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.
We’ve been fed a lie.
We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.
By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.
So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.” (source)
Those who control information have now perfected the art of algorithmic control, using advance Artificial Intelligence as a tool to control the flow of information. The great promise of the Internet of being a free flowing information highway is being destroyed right before our very eyes.
The control algorithms are learning the dark art of how to manipulate content. This approach creates a system of self-governed filtration. The control officers don’t need to censor. They do not need to get their hands dirty. Censorship becomes organic.
The children, who grew up under Obama’s brainwashing political correctness, were led to believe that America is white, and everything white must apologize. These same individuals are now shooting people. They think they are freedom fighters when, in reality, they merely are tools being used to control the public and destroy the very freedoms that have made this nation great.
What comes next is exactly what Pavel Durov is warning about.
Platform content is controlled using algorithms to promote the “correct” message and isolate for the “incorrect” message.
Content creators recognize what content is gaining benefit (likes, engagement and, in most cases, ad revenue), and what content results in isolation, for “wrong” thinking. Content creators start to modify their content to enhance the benefit and avoid the isolation. People who value liberty and accountability are labeled extremists.
Government entities don’t need to tell platform providers to ‘blacklist’ or delete certain information any longer. This deplatforming was popular during the Obama administration and after. Now algorithms inside the machines go to work on identifying information for isolation. Conversely, the information beneficial to their interests can be enhanced and amplified in what looks like an organic spread.
In this country, the Uniparty wants to enslave us. And the more they try to cloak themselves as the protectors of global democracy, the more full of crap you know they are.
Human Nature doesn’t change…which is why new moral and political systems built by humans tend to mimic old ones. Only the machines…the inventions…change.
The Catholic Church controlled “platform content” in the Dark Ages and started to lose it when Gutenberg invented the printing press. This resulted in Matin Luther posting his declarations on his Church door—which led to more particularized “platform controls” like the Spanish Inquisition and the English Star Chamber. Regardless of who “owns” Wapo, Wapo is “platform control”. If Nixon had been a Democrat, no one would remember “Watergate”.
At all times there will be clever and simple; industrious and indolent—therefore Class Warfare is perpetual which means the struggle for “platform control” is perpetual.
We just have to keep finding Jeffersons and Jacksons and Teddy Roosevelts and Reagans and Trumps….and other free thinkers.
“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” A. Lincoln
Are we at the “all of the people all of the time” part of that saying?
Do not cave to them.
You are not alone.
You can make a profound difference.
Godspeed.
