Deep dives
Controlled Narratives and Censorship Frameworks
There is a group of global elites, including the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), that control narratives and enforce censorship through frameworks like GARM. These frameworks aim to punish disapproved messages and limit advertising revenue for content that violates their guidelines.
Subjective Parameters and Biased Ratings
The censorship framework's guidelines expand beyond objectively criminal activities to subjective parameters like hate speech and sensitivity around transgenderism. Ratings organizations like NewsGuard exhibit bias in favor of left-leaning outlets and penalize right-leaning sources, raising concerns about their apolitical claims.
Implications for Independent Content Creators
These globalist powers also impact independent content creators on social media platforms, as evidenced by demonetization and content strikes on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Brand safety regulations shape culture, with companies supporting narratives deemed brand safe while avoiding controversial topics.
