Who’s Applauding Internet Censorship?
By Brother Nathanael Kapner


The usual suspects are at it again.

It’s a crusade against hate speech that can be named speech neocons hate to hear.

The latest round of this ’sanctified struggle’ has EU bloggers in its crosshairs.

Bloomberg News was one of the first to cheer on tech giants to form a posse of online “intermediaries” to throw gags into offenders’ mouths.

Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Microsoft, all made a pact with the EU to apparently do just that.

Reuters reported that “Bankster lobbyists, frequently the target of hate speech, welcomed the agreement.”

Of course!

Hate speech is decimating cities, leaving entire nations in rubble!

But it’s just text, or a video, that one may or may not click.

It’s not like it chases you down, puts a gun to your head, and says click-it or tick-et.

Censorship is always a slippery slope.

What starts as a way to protect a victim turns the classic victim into a perpetrator.

Perpetrators are always the perfect victim, now of ‘hate-speech’ – which must be censored.

Voltaire once said, “To learn who rules over you, find out who you’re not allowed to criticize.”

So, who’s applauding Internet Censorship? Those ruling over you.
