Mike Benz and the Censorship Industry

This podcast is based on the recent appearance of Mike Benz, an expert on internet censorship, on the Joe Rogan Experience discussing the history and mechanics of internet censorship operations. Benz details how government agencies, in conjunction with private companies and NGOs, have leveraged internet censorship for geopolitical advantage, focusing on events since 2014. He explains how this system uses "whole of society" approaches to disguise top-down control and impact elections globally. The interview also highlights specific examples of censorship campaigns, including those related to COVID-19 and the 2016 and 2020 US elections, and the implications for democratic processes. Benz emphasizes the financial incentives driving the censorship industry and its deep entanglement with the US foreign policy establishment.
