Navigating Censorship and Disinformation on Social Media
This chapter explores the implications of censorship practices by major social media platforms like Facebook under government influence, focusing on Mark Zuckerberg's admissions about content removal amidst allegations of disinformation. It highlights controversial events, such as the suppression of the New York Post's article on Hunter Biden before the 2020 election, and questions the transparency of fact-checking organizations. The discussion extends to the rising disinformation industry and the complex dynamics between tech companies, government pressure, and public discourse surrounding misinformation.
