The very first amendment to the U.S. constitution deals with the sensitive subject of freedom of speech, and it is sacred to many people, who feel that the 1st amendment protects their religious, ethical and other freedoms. The right to have your own opinion and express it freely is something cherished by most Americans.
Nonetheless, freedom of speech is under attack, not just in the United States, but across the globe. Countries like China are famous for openly censoring the exchange of ideas and information that they deem to be unacceptable or threatening.
But controlling what people see and hear has become far more difficult since the advent of the Internet, which is now the world’s largest platform for free speech. And not everybody is in favor of the way in which the Internet provides information to the masses. Many feel threatened by the ease of access that people now have to ideas that defy mainstream propaganda.
The official narrative on things like pesticide use, chemical drugs, vaccinations, etc. is being fiercely challenged by the independent media, and the mainstream media, governmental authorities, and others are not taking it lying down. Censorship is becoming increasingly widespread on the Internet, and tech giants like Google and Facebook are grabbing more and more control over what we are and are not allowed to read and view online.
And the mainstream media, traditionally a champion of free speech, has switched allegiance and is cheering all the way.
A call to ramp up censorship
While journalists will generally fight tooth and nail to protect free speech, even respected members of the media have fallen prey to the idea that the Internet should be a strictly censored source of information.
