President Biden released a farewell video from the Oval Office on Thursday. He warned of an oligarchy that is taking shape under the incoming Trump administration.
He said that the tech oligarchy the evolution of the “military industrial complex.”
“I’m equally concerned about the potential rise of a tech-industrial complex that could pose real dangers for our country as well,” said the person who used big tech to censor Americans over true information.
He also spoke about the dangers of free information exchange.
“Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact-checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit.”
Democrats are clearly afraid of a new era with less censorship and control. John Stuart Mill would disagree and so do we here at Redacted. Mill famously said that “in a free information exchange the truth will rise.”
