# Assange Keeps Warning Of A.I. Censorship, And It's Time We Started Listening

Authored by Caitlin Johnstone via Medium.com,

Throughout the near entirety of human history, a population’s understanding of what’s going on in the world has been controlled by those in power. The men in charge controlled what the people were told about rival populations, the history of their tribe and its leadership, etc. When the written word was invented, men in charge dictated what books were permitted to be written and circulated, what ideas were allowed, what narratives the public would be granted access to.

This continued straight on into modern times. Where power is not overtly totalitarian, wealthy elites have bought up all media, first in print, then radio, then television, and used it to advance narratives that are favorable to their interests. Not until humanity gained widespread access to the internet has our species had the ability to freely and easily share ideas and information on a large scale without regulation by the iron-fisted grip of power. This newfound ability arguably had a direct impact on the election for the most powerful elected office in the most powerful government in the world in 2016, as a leak publishing outlet combined with alternative and social media enabled ordinary Americans to tell one another their own stories about what they thought was going on in their country.

This newly democratized narrative-generating power of the masses gave those in power an immense fright, and they’ve been working to restore the old order of power controlling information ever since. And the editor-in-chief of the aforementioned leak publishing outlet, WikiLeaks, has been repeatedly trying to warn us about this coming development.

> — Julian Assange ⌛ (@JulianAssange) January 17, 2018

In a statement that was recently read during the “Organising Resistance to Internet Censorship” webinar, sponsored by the World Socialist Web Site, Assange warned of how “digital super states” like Facebook and Google have been working to “re-establish discourse control”, giving authority over how ideas and information are shared back to those in power.

Assange went on to say that the manipulative attempts of world power structures to regain control of discourse in the information age has been “operating at a scale, speed, and increasingly at a subtlety, that appears likely to eclipse human counter-measures.”

What this means is that using increasingly more advanced forms of artificial intelligence, power structures are becoming more and more capable of controlling the ideas and information that people are able to access and share with one another, hide information which goes against the interests of those power structures and elevate narratives which support those interests, all of course while maintaining the illusion of freedom and lively debate.

This is not the first time that Assange has cautioned about these developments. In an appearance via video link at musician and activist M.I.A.’s Meltdown Festival last June, the WikiLeaks editor-in-chief expounded in far more detail about his thoughts on the potential for artificial intelligence to be used for controlling online information and discourse in a way human intelligence can’t hope to keep up with.

Pointing out how AI can already outmaneuver even the greatest chess players in the world, he describes how programs which can operate with exponentially more tactical intelligence than the human intellect can manipulate the field of available information so effectively and subtly that people won’t even know they are being manipulated. People will be living in a world that they think they understand and know about, but they’ll unknowingly be viewing only establishment-approved information.

> “When you have AI programs harvesting all the search queries and YouTube videos someone uploads it starts to lay out perceptual influence campaigns, twenty to thirty moves ahead,” Assange said.

> “This starts to become totally beneath the level of human perception.”

To be clear, this is already happening. Due to a recent shift in Google’s “evaluation methods”, traffic to left-leaning and anti-establishment websites has plummeted, with sites like WikiLeaks, Alternet, Counterpunch, Global Research, Consortium News, Truthout, and WSWS losing up to 70 percent of the views they were getting prior to the changes. Powerful billionaire oligarchs Pierre Omidyar and George Soros are openly financing the development of “an automated fact-checking system” (AI) to hide “fake news” from the public.

Whenever they are accused of censoring anti-establishment narratives, these “digital super states” have been consistently denying participating in censorship themselves and instead blaming the algorithm for the information’s disappearance from public view. But what does that mean, exactly?

It means “It wasn’t me censoring you! It was the AI!” Which is the exact threat that Assange is pointing to here.

To make matters even worse, there’s no way to know the exact extent to which this is going on, because we know that we can absolutely count on the digital super states in question to lie about it. In the lead-up to the 2016 election, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was asked point-blank if Twitter was obstructing the #DNCLeaks from trending, a hashtag people were using to build awareness of the DNC emails which had just been published by WikiLeaks, and Dorsey flatly denied it.

> Hmm. True or not? @jack, did Twitter block #DNCLeaks from trending? https://t.co/RsBOAafL3T

> — Tré Goins-Phillips ☃️ (@tregp) July 23, 2016

More than a year later, we learned from a prepared testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism by Twitter’s acting general counsel Sean J. Edgett that this was completely false and Twitter had indeed been doing exactly that to protect the interests of US political structures by sheltering the public from information allegedly gathered by Russian hackers.

> “With respect to #DNCLeak, approximately 23,000 users posted around 140,000 unique Tweets with that hashtag in the relevant period,” Edgett said. “Of those Tweets, roughly 2% were from Russian-linked accounts. As noted above, our automated systems at the time detected, labeled, and hid just under half (48%) of all the original Tweets with #DNCLeak.”

> @RudyTakala false

> — jack (@jack) July 23, 2016

So this is happening already. There’s no way to know exactly to what extent at this point because these powerful corporations are hiding behind so much dishonesty and opacity, but it is happening without question.

Imagine going back to a world like the Middle Ages where you only knew the things your king wanted you to know, except you could still watch innocuous kitten videos on Youtube.

That appears to be where we may be headed, and if that happens the possibility of any populist movement arising to hold power to account may be effectively locked out from the realm of possibility forever.

To claim that these powerful new media corporations are just private companies practicing their freedom to determine what happens on their property is to bury your head in the sand and ignore the extent to which these digital super states are already inextricably interwoven with existing power structures.

In a corporatist system of government, which America unquestionably has, corporate censorship is government censorship, of an even more pernicious strain than if Jeff Sessions were touring the country burning books. The more advanced artificial intelligence becomes, the more adept these power structures will become at manipulating us. Time to start paying very close attention to this.

@shitshitshit- We knew you were going to say that and have already planned contingencies. - Google

Let's face it, half the population is below average. They'll believe what they're told ALWAYS. And they can be spurred into action pretty easily to put down the other half. Most by simple social pressure, some by force. Note the current anti-conservative movements, particularly on college campuses. These are supposed to be places where ideas are born and debated. Somehow they have already become the opposite of that. And it's not by accident.

Cool! I may actually hack out a shitty attempt at this just to see how it goes.

Individual awareness and ingenuity go a long way to mitigating some of the problems raised in the article. I understand that Google, Facebook, Twitter etc... wield a lot of influence, but that doesn't mean we're fucking dependent on them. And, insofar as they provide worthwhile services, new platforms can be created that do the same thing but without all the bullshit.

And of course those will become corrupted too, in time. Essentially, cool people must constantly revivify all systems as they degrade.

(Have to admit I feel a bit dirty responding to this autist's post, above.....but here we go)

I'd encourage you folks to think deep re: this article

The fact that Assange (& Chomsky, for that matter) reveal important truths does not change the fact they are agents of the matrix

No one would dispute the stated theme of the narrative above: the Net can open minds if left unfettered

But think about several of the more subtle narratives baked into the cookie: 1) that "AI" is some powerful, effective overlord (as if it can exist outside human agency) & 2) that the "left wing" sites are the primary ones under threat

Wikileaks has an agenda & while on the surface it seems to upset the authoritarian apple cart, I suspect the reality is more complex

I knew this article would trigger a lot of cognitive dissonance in the indoctrinated US-plebs dominant on this site.

First, the article does not present an “all-powerful” A.I., but describes the already abused monopoly of a few privately owned IT-infrastructure (de facto) monopolies: Google and Facebook. Both are using algorithms to control the flow of information and an army of humans paid to work as a corps of censors. It is obvious that the latter in time will be automated by A.I.

Second, it is a fact that it is the left-wing that is targeted. In US it is easy (there is no mainstream left-wing in US to target and only small atomized entities on the web). US is so controlled that there’s only two extreme right-wing narratives: the neo-liberalist version (mouthed by the Democrats) and the neo-conservative (mouthed by the Republicans). The Chomsky quote is very accurate of the totalitarian reality in US: a very narrow (right-wing) frame of “debate” ensuring that only your master’s interests can be served.

”Net neutrality” is another (equal important) discussion: it is about the again private owners of the network access itself – that is the speed of your network connection in relation to specific webpages/web-services. The law of net neutrality was that you as a private provider of the network was not allowed to favor one site/service over another (with higher network speed – or the opposite to a webpage/-service you don’t like). That law was removed by the orange one…

I found that to be curious too. However, we can only take that at face value. The real threat to the status quo in the last election cycle was Trump, not the idiot socialists. This article paints the socialists as victims, and this as a #MeToo scenario. The reeality is something different, because all of these media/social media constructs (the MSM) favor statist/socialist content.

Almost funny how stupid/indoctrinated the US plebs have become. Trump a threat to the status quo? A fiat billionaire with a vocabulary as a ten year old, an understanding of politics, history and ideologies like a US pleb (=none) and a political program based on misnomers, half-truths and full lies.

As a fiat billionaire he is the status quo. You do not become a fiat billionaire without being controlled by the fiat-masters (the bankters). He is the candidate in US history who’ve gotten the most free MSM airtime – and in every election the candidate with the most MSM airtime wins. That is how easily the US plebs are controlled. He is a product of US MSM – a reality “star” (think, anus). But if you were somehow fooled by his rhetoric doing the election his cabinet should make you certain of him being a tool. Trump has the most swampy cabinet ever – even surpassing Obamas (says a lot). His cabinet of handlers is comprised solely of Goldmanites, MIC generals and other notabilities/pawns of the deep state (Exxon for instance).

But I would like to know (the only reason I visit this site = to study indoctrinated minds like yours): what policies that Trump supports do you think would challenge the PTB? And, more importantly, what policies that Trump has implemented do you see as counter status quo/against the PTB?

Second, “statism” has nothing to do with “socialism” – a state can be a capitalist state if it serves the interests of capitalists (like the US state does). The only relevant/defining aspect of socialism is ownership = who owns the means of production? In US everything profitable is privately owned – and the state is clearly just a tool for the ownership class/the 0,01%.

Fascism is the endgame of capitalism.

And I have arguments for my little slogan: capitalism is a game of capital accumulation (like Monopoly). In the end a very few players have accumulated all the capital (look at the world today) and there’s nothing to prevent the capitalists to leverage their economic power into political power = the fascist state emerges (synonymous with fascism is corporatism). Fascism is the merging of corporate and state power – with the former calling the shots/being in control.

US have had a slow-motion corporate coup d’état – starting with the creation of the privately owned monetary system (the creation of the FED). The coup is now completed and US is a full blown fascist state – a state owned by the capitalists. And their 100 years propaganda effort is paying off: the plebs are so dumbed down that they have no means to define their own enslavement (your comment being just one case of many).

But even if the do arrest some fall guy villains say Soros or Clinton is that really going to change anything the cashless society,AI running the show,5g and the weaponization of the weather and the earths atmosphere all these things are coming shortly you can tell by how much effort is being put into all these distractions.

A.I is now being used to write to forums using web-bots and you might think that you would spot them a mile away but you would be wrong and they even chatter away between themselves.

I find this out whilst on bitcointalk.org and someone (or thing) used the word "community" on page 99 of a thread and from then onward the word was being used time and time again in different context for the rest of the thread as if it was some type of trigger word.

Also look out for Bot-Tags placed in comments that start and end with repeats of the same characters such as (((drinking))) or ***football***

Assange is right about censorship and is a hero and should be broken out of jail and anyone that stops us needs to be hung out in the open and shown for the traitors they are
