Congress has no problem passing ‘The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012’, but shows little appetite in reigning in Big Tech’s manipulative propaganda.  The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 is Operation Mockingbird on steroids — officially recognizing, legitimizing and funding the CIA’s previously illegal domestic propaganda and psychological operations designed to manipulate the media you consume.

What’s at stake?   

• Power to control reality: Your sense of history, science, truth and reality.
• Manufacturing consent: Your informed or misinformed consent regarding the safety and efficacy of medicines.
• Power to control elections in the hands of the unelected few: Control and manipulation of public opinion on politics using hidden algorithms and AI.
• We are witnessing a modern-day book-burning orgy while financially destroying our best and brightest content creators – we are destroying knowledge to satisfy a few selfish interests.

Solution:

• Regulate: will only create barriers to competitors since smaller companies can’t afford the large staff needed to comply with onerous government regulations. It is an historical fact that monopolies prefer to be heavily regulated to prevent entry into their markets by smaller competitors.
• Break-up: Think Standard Oil. The breakup only made Rockefeller much wealthier.
• Total transparency: Force Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and other monopolies to publicly post and otherwise reveal ALL their methods to serve up and manipulate data — including source code, algorithms and AI.
