We've all heard constantly by the controlled media about "Russian bots" interfering with western democracy. The hysteria around this conspiratorial plot, have been shared far and wide by far-left supporting "journalists" and their corporate backers.
The shocker readers are supposed to take away from the Russian bots headline, is that 'foreigners are interfering in our democracy'. An unusual tactic from a political spectrum that is so open to outside influence and would absolutely love no borders. But maybe they are right, it's fine for a foreign entity to have an opinion on another countries electoral candidates, but it shouldn't interfere with it's electoral process.
But if the American far-left feel that way, then they should practice what they preach.

So you can image my surprise when I clicked onto YouTube, only to be told that article 13 is bad and that we need to take action against it. (YouTube video and screen shot below.)
Now I have already gone over what article 13 is and how it will be good for copyright holders (although it will be abused by large companies) to protect themselves from pirate sites like - funnily enough, YouTube.
But the fact is article 13 is a law being proposed in the European Union, not America. So if the far-left technology companies of California think outside interference in democracy is bad, why would they embarrass themselves with this hypocritical stance?

Screen shot of YouTube pop-up.
Other American tech firms are the same, like Reddit who had a similar message to YouTube (see below) or how Facebook were accused of promoting the left wing over the right in the run up to the presidential elections. Similar to Twitter who is accused of outright banning anyone who expresses opinion on the right side of the political spectrum.
So why is the controlled media not giving an equal amount of attention to these American far-left tech companies trying to sway democracy? In fact, why aren't elected government officials kicking up more of a fuss - especially those whose voting demographic are being targeted?

The answer is power and money. You see as outlined above, these companies don't care one bit about freedom of speech or expression, otherwise they wouldn't take it away from people they don't agree with. What they do care about is profits declining and share prices tumbling.
As for the controlled media, well their thin veil of reporting the news has well and truly slipped and we can see their true intent - telling you what to think.
The ineptness of politicians, well that is owed in part to who they do business with, largely the media and big money. Huge business funds them and the controlled media get public opinion on their side. So their balls are well and truly held by these two entities.

As far as solutions go, it is clear that journalism, politics and big business have become too paly. Just like we would stop any monopoly by breaking things up and ensuring competition, so to must we disrupt these heavily biased sectors.
I think it will be entirely in the hands of the public to ensure their interests are being protected, by taking actions themselves, it is after all the public being lazy that lead to this situation.
America already lost it's freedom of speech, when the cowards who should have spoken up on YouTube over censorship, kowtowed in fear of losing pennies. First censoring swear words and then censoring whole topics, so as not to get sent to the sin bin.

Rather than be down about this all I see it as a positive thing as to get round these institutions will take some innovation and good old fashioned balls - but the pay off will be worth it.
