Tulsi Gabbard: "Every dictatorship has a propaganda arm—a “Ministry of Truth.” The Biden Administration has now formally joined the ranks of such dictatorships with their creation of the so-called “Disinformation Governance Board.”"

I'm shocked Tulsi hasn't been banned from twitter tbh, but yes this is 1984 in real life, it's terrifying.

Was. Twitter is reverting the algorithm before it goes open source.

Well, part of 1984 was based off of Orwell's experience working for BBC from 1941-1943. The methods they use has been done for numerous decades. It's just more noticeable to a minority of politically active ppl now due to the internet.

Were you terrified when the government was assassinating people for free speech and free thought 10 years ago? 20 years ago? 30 years ago? 40 years ago?

No, unless WWIII happens, life will go on and nothing will fundamentally change.

Yes, the state and media have done things like this for decades, but we weren't doing press releases about it or giving it an official government agency. I think that is what Tulsi is referring to about dictatorships, that historically this only happens openly in an official capacity in very tyrannical regimes.
