In February 11th, 2016 the Department of Defense hosted Marie Helen Maras to debrief the foreign press discussing how to leverage a public-private partnership with social media companies to enforce their own terms of service on behalf of the federal government.
In February 2016 Donald Trump was a candidate for President of the United States, apparently his Twitter use was a problem, the foreign press wanted to know how Maras would handle that, “how do they stop him?” was the specific question. Marie Maras response , “Hate speech is a violation of terms of service”.
Today everyone is up in arms regarding the Twitter Files that Elon Musk has exposed, but the real question is when did this begin? When did agents of our government decide they were allowed to collude with private business to incentivize censorship online? Why has government not yet acted against these companies for Anti Trust violations?
Katie discusses all of this and more….. You can read the articles about the Maras sisters here.
