The measure of societal freedom is not how servants of power are treated: they're always left alone or rewarded. The key metric is how dissidents are treated. Now, they are imprisoned (Assange), exiled (Snowden) and, above all, silenced by corporate/state power (dissidents). https://t.co/5AojVGV9OB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In even the most despotic nations, the banal, conformist citizen thinks they're free. As Rosa Luxemburg said: "he who does not move, does not feel his chains." Of course the Chris Hayes's and Don Lemon's think this is all absurd: Good Liberals threaten nobody and thus flourish. https://t.co/jvKn0qmsZy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's not melodrama or hyperbole to say: what we have is a war in the West, a war over whether the internet will be free, over whether dissent will be allowed, over whether we will live in the closed propaganda system our elites claim The Bad Countries™ impose. It's no different. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is hard to overstate how much pressure is now brought to bear by liberal censors on these free speech platforms, especially Rumble. Their vendors are threatened. Their hosting companies targeted. They have accounts cancelled and firms refusing to deal with them. It's a regime. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But as these free speech platforms grow and become a threat, the efforts to crush them also grow – exactly as @AOC, other Dems and their corporate media allies successfully demanded Google, Apple and Amazon destroy Parler when it became the single most-popular app in the country. https://t.co/HFRVSVDZOJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The one encouraging aspect: as so often happens with despotic factions, they are triggering and fueling the backlash to their excesses. Sites devoted to free speech – led by Rumble, along with Substack, Callin, and others – are exploding in growth. https://t.co/9VbsO4MhOS — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How come **not one media outlet** that spread this CIA lie – the Hunter Biden archive was "Russian disinformation" – retracted or apologized? This is why: they believe they are so benevolent, their cause so just, that lying and censorship are benevolent. https://t.co/oE2BKYgy4B — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The authoritarian mentality that led CIA, corporate media and Big Tech to lie about the Biden archive before the election is the same driving this new censorship craze. It's the hallmark of all tyranny: "our enemies are so evil and dangerous, anything is justified to stop them." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is why I regard the Hunter Biden scandal as uniquely alarming. The media didn't just "bury" the archive. CIA concocted a lie about it (it's "Russian disinformation"); media outlets spread that lie; Big Tech censured it -- because lying and repression to them is justified! https://t.co/2ywVxAj7rR — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All of this stems from the classic mentality of all would-be tyrants: our enemies are so dangerous, their views so threatening, that everything we do – lying, repression, censorship – is noble. That's what made the Sam Harris confession so vital: that's how liberal elites think. https://t.co/D7Fdzjoeab — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

So many new tactics of censorship repression have emerged in the West: Trudeau freezing bank accounts of tucker-protesters; Paypal partnering with ADL to ban dissidents from the financial system; Big Tech platforms openly colluding in unison to de-person people from the internet. https://t.co/O9U2s89ca1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the frog-in-boiling-water problem: the increase in censorship is gradual but continuous, preventing recognition of how severe it's become. The EU now legally *mandates censorship of Russian news. They've made it *illegal* for companies to air it. https://t.co/mtWA4utXJE — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But the worst is watching people whose job title in corporate HR Departments is "journalist" take the lead in agitating for censorship. They exploit the platforms of corporate giants to pioneer increasingly dangerous means of banning dissenters. *These* are the authoritarians. https://t.co/Ru6oGtIrFb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A major myth that must be quickly dismantled: political censorship is not the by-product of autonomous choices of Big Tech companies. This is happening because DC Dems and the US Security State are threatening reprisals if they refuse. They're explicit: https://t.co/j64rCdZ82L — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is astonishing to watch Dems and their allies in media corporations posture as opponents of "fascism" - while their main goal is to *unite state and corporate power* to censor their critics and degrade the internet into an increasingly repressive weapon of information control. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The worst, most vile arm of this regime are the censorship-mad liberal employees of big media corporations (@oneunderscore__, @BrandyZadrozny, @TaylorLorenz, NYT tech unit). Masquerading as "journalists," they align with the scummiest Dem groups (@mmfa) to silence and deplatform. https://t.co/CMpONlXngi — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's now an entire new industry, aligned with Dems, to pressure Big Tech to censor. Think tanks and self-proclaimed "disinformation experts" funded by Omidyar, Soros and the US/UK Security State use benign-sounding names to glorify ideological censorship as neutral expertise. https://t.co/5JxSYugUIf — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But that Rogan failure only strengthened their repressive campaigns. Dems routinely abuse their majoritarian power in DC to explicitly coerce Big Tech silencing of their opponents and dissent. This is *Govt censorship* disguised as corporate autonomy. https://t.co/7s5uY175HZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

During the failed attempt in January to force Spotify to remove Joe Rogan, the country's most popular podcaster – remember that? – I wrote that the current religion of Western liberals in politics and media is censorship: their prime weapon of activism. https://t.co/SAMtK31UY8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A series of "crises" have been cynically and aggressively exploited to inexorably restrict the range of permitted views, and expand pretexts for online silencing and deplatforming. Trump's election, Russiagate, 1/6, COVID and war in Ukraine all fostered new methods of repression. https://t.co/RXIbcMhiiD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The regime of censorship being imposed on the internet – by a consortium of DC Dems, billionaire-funded "disinformation experts," the US Security State, and liberal employees of media corporations – is dangerously intensifying in ways I believe are not adequately understood. — PolitiTweet.org

@flaviaol @cynaramenezes Obrigado, Flávia. Também acreditamos mais do que nunca que, enquanto nada é garantido, David vai se recuperar e voltar para casa conosco logo. 🙏 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@renatasouzario @davidmirandario Obrigado, Renata. Isso significará muito para David, que te respeita e te ama muito, e significa muito para mim também. E sim, a força de David, construída ao longo da vida dele, ficou muito evidente no último mês e é o que mais contamos.❤️ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Since David's hospitalization on August 6th, our family has received much support, prayers, love and thoughts from so many around the world. We are very grateful for that. It is a testament to the love David inspires, and the kindness of human beings, and it strengthens us all.🙏 https://t.co/AxH11vELc3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

UPDATE: Today marks 4 weeks of David's admittance to the ICU. He is still in critical but stable condition. This stability is vital -- encouraging -- because it is giving his body the time it needs to recover. We are more hopeful than ever for his full recovery. https://t.co/CQm2pJ4JkT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Desde a internação de David em 6 de agosto, nossa família vem recebendo muito apoio, orações, amor e pensamentos de tantas pessoas ao redor do mundo. Estamos muito gratos por isso. É uma prova do amor que David inspira e da bondade dos seres humanos, e fortalece a todos nós.🙏 https://t.co/QdP844x5Am — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

ATUALIZAÇÃO: Hoje se completam 4 semanas de internação do David na UTI. Ainda está em estado grave, mas estável. Essa estabilidade é vital -- encorajante -- pq dá ao corpo o tempo necessário para se recuperar. Estamos mais esperançosos do que nunca em sua recuperação completa. https://t.co/X8X9tYkhyS — PolitiTweet.org

@SheilaGeist @FabioPorchat @Marcus_Luiz @Adriano202029 @davidmirandario @cirogomes Se não foi feito, eu faria. So entre me contato comigo pelo DM por favor. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SnowdoSertao Sim, posto notícias quando há mudanças, ou mesmo se não, uma vez a cada 5 dias. Minha prioridade é só a saúde e a recuperação de meu marido e o bem-estar de nossos filhos, mas sei que muitas se importam muito com David, então faço o possível para manter as pessoas informadas.❤️ — PolitiTweet.org
