Censorship will remain the lasting legacy of Biden’s failed presidency

Analyst Steve Poikonen joined the final edition of Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program Tuesday to discuss online censorship in the West, noting that growing awareness of the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza has required new efforts on the part of elites to maintain ideological hegemony on the matter.

“Over the last year plus of this livestreamed genocide and the expansion of the greater Israel project, people have become far more acquainted with what Zionism as a political force really stands for,” said Poikonen.

“So it has become incumbent on narrative management to get a hold of the conversation because it was starting to slip away from them. And how couldn’t it?... What better way to get a hold of [the narrative] than to eliminate the speech that connects you to those atrocities? And that's exactly what Meta* and Facebook* have done.”

Writer Caitlin Johnstone has documented the arbitrary efforts of instagram and other platforms to censor material by enforcing vague guidelines and opaque content moderation. “This is indistinct from government censorship,” she observed, noting that tech giants operate under implicit and explicit guidance from Congress.

Growing US government involvement in questions of online content moderation has continued apace, most recently culminating in the establishment of sanctions on Russian media that have eliminated the positions of this author and other US-based employees of Sputnik. President Biden’s hostility toward alternative media signals the Western ruling class’s growing fear – of its mounting failures, of competing narratives, and of its own people.
