Semafor declares the era of top-down content moderation a "failed experiment." Image
Censorship is a failed experiment. DEI is a failed experiment. Multiculturalism & mass immigration a failed experiment.

A lot of failed experiments these days!
Let's add another one to the pile.

The man who spends >90% of his time collecting and analyzing data on health and the human body says he regrets succumbing to official COVID hysteria 👀

19th Century Elite Human Capital: Weeb Edition 

Does xenophobia doom nations? 

You cannot compete, we are told, if you care about where your CEOs & geniuses come from.

Is that true?

Let's learn about one of the most successful-and xenophobic-national modernizations ever /1Image
Edo (Tokyo), 1852: 

Japan is COOKED. 

An American fleet has forcibly docked in the harbor, demanding an unequal trade treaty. 

Japan has been isolated for 200 years.  

It’s a feudal society with no modern industry or military.  

ZERO Elite Human Capital. 

Is it... over? Image
Image
Worse, the Japanese people refuse to welcome Elite Human Capital from the west, who could remedy their backwardness.  

They wanted to kick them out!  

The rallying cry of this tumultuous period was Sonnō jō-i! ("Revere the emperor, and expel the barbarians.")Image

🇬🇧 The Transatlantic Censorship Blob 🇺🇸

Britain's prime minister, Keir Starmer is frantically trying to cozy up to the incoming Trump administration.

One little problem: a nonprofit founded by Starmer's top aide wants to censor Americans and "kill Musk's Twitter."Image
CCDH was founded in 2018 by Morgan McSweeney, currently chief of staff to UK prime minister Keir Starmer.

He's also embroiled in a foreign interference controversy after it emerged that the UK Labour party paid for him to fly to the DNC and meet with Harris.

Would be less of a big deal if 100 Labour party activists hadn't campaigned for Kamala in the swing states...Image
But CCDH's influence in the U.S. goes far beyond its founder's meeting with Harris.

Its staff includes a former aide to Adam Schiff, Senator-elect from California and former head of the House Intelligence Committee.

Yes, the same Adam Schiff who led the Trump-Russia panic. Image

EXCLUSIVE: USAID supports censorship of GAMING SITES.

A USAID "disinformation" primer obtained by @America1stLegal claims "gaming sites" have become hubs for "problematic information."

USAID also characterizes "satire and parody" as misinformation.
foundationforfreedomonline.com/usaid-internal…
USAID: "problematic information regularly originates from networks of alternative sites" including gaming sites, Reddit, Discord, and 4chan.

These alternative networks create a "populist expertise" offering "interpretations of the world that differ from mainstream sources." Image
Elsewhere, USAID describes "satire and parody" as a type of misinformation, with "no intention to cause harm but has potential to fool." Image

The rot at Google has been apparent for a while.

An anon Google employee, speaking to me in 2017:

“the diversity gospel has been woven into nearly everything the company does.”
Image
“Pro-censorship voices have the management’s ear. The anti-censorship people are afraid of retaliation.”

“Our leadership (Sundar in particular) is weak, so he capitulates to the meanest bullies on the block.” Image
“Several have been have been driven out of the company or fired outright for sharing a dissenting view. Others have had their promotions denied or suffered other forms of deniable retaliation.” Image

Congressionally-Chartered Nonprofit’s "Disinformation Dashboard" Used to Track Hunter Biden Laptop Story

Once again, an organization that claims to be a non-partisan opponent of "disinformation" participated in 2020's biggest disinformation operation.
foundationforfreedomonline.com/congressionall…
The suppression stories about Hunter Biden's shady foreign business deals had a tangible effect on the 2020 election.

Significant numbers of voters said they wouldn't have voted for Biden had they known the facts before the election.
newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/rich-…
Organizations that claimed to oppose "disinformation" spread their own disinformation about the story.

Here, NewsGuard co-founder Steven Brill claims, without evidence, that the story was likely a "hoax perpetrated by the Russians."
