The US Government Sees Silicon Valley As Part Of Its Propaganda Machine — Caitlin Johnstone

Summary:
Is the US government about to nix Elon Musk's Twitter purchase on national security grounds. That this is even being discussed is representative of the level of control the government, in this case, the executive branch acing unilaterally, can exert over the economy at a foundational level for political reasons. It also brings up legal questions about freedom of expression since the US is not technically at war with anyone, although in a sense it is at war economically with just about everyone.Interesting article.
