Former Top CIA Analyst Condemns FBI For Censorship & Misinformation
"Joe McCarthy would have loved to have that kind of control," says Martin Gurri, author of the seminal 2018 book, "The Revolt of Public," about government influence over Twitter.
The Twitter Files show Twitter executives working closely with officials from the FBI, the White House, and other government agencies to censor, restrict, and promote specific content in potentially unconstitutional ways.
For some perspective, we reached out to former CIA analyst Martin Gurri. In 2018 Gurri published a major book, The Revolt of the Public, which argues that the Internet is disrupting modern society and politics as much as the printing press did in the 15th Century.
The book influenced us so much that we named our Substack publication after it. (Above, you can see a video that one of us, Leighton, made about it.)
