Narrative Managers Argue China-Like Internet Censorship Is\u00a0Needed<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Neoconservative publication The Atlantic<\/em> has published an article<\/a> authored by two university professors titled \u201cInternet Speech Will Never Go Back to Normal\u201d, subtitled \u201cIn the debate over freedom versus control of the global network, China was largely correct, and the U.S. was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article is actually worth reading in full, not just because it\u2019s outrage porn for anyone who values human communication that is unregulated by oligarchs and government agencies, but because it\u2019s actually packed full of extensively sourced information about the way Silicon Valley tech giants are collaborating with western governments to censor speech. The only difference between this article and something you might read on some libertarian website is that this article argues that all of these regulations on speech are a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an archive<\/a> of the article if you don\u2019t want to give clicks to The Atlantic<\/em>, whose editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg once assured the world<\/a> that \u201cthe coming invasion of Iraq will be remembered as an act of profound morality.\u201d Do give it a look if this interests you and you have time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fmr. Bush admin lawyer\/current Harvard Law prof Jack Goldsmith goes full-Thomas Friedman, credits China’s enlightened authoritarian approach to information as “largely right” and laments the US’ provincial fealty to the First Amendment as “largely wrong.” https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/ideas\/archive\/2020\/04\/what-covid-revealed-about-internet\/610549\/ \u2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the great debate of the past two decades about freedom versus control of the network, China was largely right and the United States was largely wrong,\u201d argue the article\u2019s authors, one of whom is a former Bush administration lawyer<\/a>. \u201cSignificant monitoring and speech control are inevitable components of a mature and flourishing internet, and governments must play a large role in these practices to ensure that the internet is compatible with a society\u2019s norms and values.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
