14) For more on how Castro’s Spanish-language censorship quest complemented the Censorship Industrial Complex’s Spanish-language censorship plan (implemented thru NED), take Meedan and NDI. Meedan develops Spanish-language censorship tech. NDI, NED's DNC branch, then deploys it. https://t.co/HYrD6nXyPI ...

13) "Spanish-language disinfo" would become Castro's club after the 3 big censorship predicates ("Russian disinfo," Covid misinfo, 2020 election misinfo) ran out of juice. When Elon fired X's Trust & Safety team, Castro demanded the censors be re-hired, citing Spanish disinfo https://t.co/z29176Wy82 ...

12) After using his Intelligence Committee perch to pressure the FBI to ban election speech & preen for government power to regulate speech, now NED board member Castro led what was then a NED obsession: making sure Spanish-language censorship matched English-language censorship https://t.co/iG7TvAGrbB ...

11) You'll also notice NED board member Joaquin Castro's expert witness, NED journal author Joan Donovan, cites in her NED paper the need to implement the censorship proposals pitched by Francis Fukuyama. For context on that, this vid & 🧵lays it all outhttps://t.co/iqVoisEvwXMike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber):The End Of History, The End Of Free Speech On The Internet, The CIA, Stanford, NewsGuard, & A Lil' Guy Named Francis Fukuyama https://t.co/oHrTv3vbA3 ...

10) You'll notice in the above NED article authored by Castro's expert witness Joan Donovan in 2021, she pushed what they called the "middleware" solution to force social media censorship while getting around the First Amendment's constraint on governmenthttps://t.co/3umuuB8zqLMike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber):The "Middleware" Plan To Restructure The Censorship Industry1. Middleware = 'censorship as a service' orgs2. Morphing from top-down to middle-out3. Regs + middleware = disinfo compliance market https://t.co/ ...

9) In that exchange between Castro and Donovan — at an Intelligence Committee supposed to hold the CIA to account not push censorship of Americans — you have a a NED Sandwich. Castro would join NED's board. Donovan would publish censorship proposals in NED's in-house journal. https://t.co/KFXn5ge2o6 ...

8) A telling moment in the 2020 intelligence hearing was Castro egging on Joan Donovan (don't get me started), who ran Harvard's Misinformation Review, to get her to suggest as an expert that the government needed to do more to regulate social media, to force content moderation https://t.co/N5cbyDWJpQ ...

7) And wouldn't you know it, one of Castro's expert witnesses for his "Misinformation, Conspiracy Theories & Infodemics: Stopping the Spread Online” Oct 2020 hearing was from Graphika, who at that very moment was anchoring DHS/EIP's election censorship ophttps://t.co/d1JqsOs30s https://t.co/eImSC3byvKMike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber):Graphika's massive partisan bias wasn't just theoretical talk in the form of Ben Nimmo's censorship training sessions to journalists.When DHS made Graphika a formal censorship partner ...

6) If you want to see exactly how DHS & its disinfo flaggers executed what Castro implied should be done — the pre-censorship of millions of Americans questioning mail-in ballots by coercing platforms to adopt a "delegitimization" TOS policy — watch herehttps://t.co/Fo7ArAlz7d https://t.co/LuFxT30NKCMike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber):My response to the Washington Post.This is a 40-minute lecture, Part 1 in what I'd like to be an ongoing series, Censorship Industry Decoded.This first video cut through the tricks & t ...

5) Castro's Intelligence Cmte emphasis on forcing social platforms to pre-censor skepticism of mail-in ballots (to kill legitimacy challenges if Biden won the next day by mail-ins) matches exactly what DHS's CISA censorship op, EIP, was doing at that timehttps://t.co/EaOTAYKFVbMike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber):@joerogan 10. The result was a government license to totally and utterly censor any public questions on social media about mail-in ballots or electronic voting machines, 5 months before 2020 election day. DH ...
