Here we go again...Aside from some names & nefarious NGOs nothing really new that most of us already knew or suspected for a while now. And the selected "Censorship-Industrial Complex" nuggets edge close to the much darker side of it all that is probably coming in very near future.

The good ole public-private partnerships with an army of outside technocrat contractors & ML bots.
Well, well, are we not surprised.
Renée DiResta is a writer and research manager at Stanford Internet Observatory. DiResta has written about pseudoscience, conspiracies, terrorism, and state-sponsored information warfare. She has also served as in advisor to the U.S. Congress on ongoing efforts to prevent online and social media disinformation. AND she previously "worked for the CIA" before getting her disinfo job at the Stanford Internet Observatory in 2019. She is a huge proponent of vaccines & Internet censorship.
In 2015, Renée DiResta co-founded Vaccinate California, an organization designed to promote vaccination in California.
Democrats are having a meltdown over "Twitter Files", again. LOL.
Chaos erupts during the House (of clowns) Weaponization Committee hearing as unhinged Democrats try to coerce Twitter Files journalists to reveal their sources.

Matt Taibbi opening statement today on the Twitter Files:
"...Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, Global Engagement Center... even the CIA."
Twitter meltdown hysteria
On the flip-side it seems that Elon is operating Twitter like an early-stage startup or more precisely a restart/Reset or as in my corporate days it was called a Re-Org which ALWAYS instills anxiety, fear, uncertainty among the worker bees and several can happen within a 12-18 month period across departments & divisions. Draining the swamp to restructure the business. Very few of the existing employees have any startup experience and as a result, they are in absolute state of shock, only the strong will survive as the late Intel CEO Andy Grove use to say and even wrote a book about it. This is corporate tech industry 101 tactics. Been there, done that numerous times and also a victim of it.
In the world of 1984, "thinking for yourself" is considered neuro-divergent.
