Mike Benz warns of Big Tech use of federal-funded 'virality circuit breakers' to stealthily censor, throttle content

Mike Benz, Executive Director of the Foundation For Freedom Online, warns how federally funded researchers conducted a ‘social science censorship experiment’ with millions of tweets they dubbed as “misinformation” during the 2020 election. Benz says the strategies they used could empower Big Tech to censor users and keep the public in the dark, by using “virality circuit breakers” to halt the spread of topics they dub “misinformation.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
