460: Deconstructing the Censorship Industrial Complex with Mike Benz

Mike Benz is the Executive Director and the Foundation for Freedom Online and the former Head of Cyber at the State Department. He joins the show to deconstruct the Censorship Industrial Complex, how it works and what its end goals and motivations are. We live in an era that would make Orwell blush. The intelligence apparatus has completely embedded itself in the operations of big tech companies and is working to control speech globally in an effort to place people in positions of power on behalf of large corporate interests.
