This Week in Internet Censorship: Giuliani, YouTube Purge, and the National Enquirer (Oct. 18, 2020)

Short video on Internet Censorship this week discussing censorship of Rudy Giuliani’s allegations about Hunter Biden and the Biden family by Facebook and Twitter, the YouTube purge of alternative creators, and a deep dive into the National Enquirer and herding alternative sources and information into content “ghettos” that discredit them by association with outlandish, offensive, or false content.

How to Defeat Internet Censorship with RSS

In this video, I discuss how to defeat soft or stealth censorship of the Internet by giant social media companies such as Facebook, Google/YouTube, Apple, Twitter and the government using the proven, established, widely used free open-source decentralized technology RSS (Rich Site Summary also known as Really Simple Syndication).  I demonstrate this using the RSS reader in the free open-source Thunderbird e-mail program available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and most Linux platforms.

The government has many potential ways to apply pressure on social media companies in the absence of explicit censorship laws:
