A new report<\/a> from The Telegraph<\/em> (United Kingdom) reveals that the UK government, in partnership with social media and artificial intelligence (AI) firms, spied on and censored critics of Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) lockdowns all throughout the \u201cpandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials embedded within the UK government structure worked clandestinely with Big Tech (i.e., Google, Facebook, and Twitter) and AI companies to keep a close eye on everyone who was resistant to the \u201cstay at home\u201d orders that were forced on the public in order to \u201cstop the spread.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bearing many similarities to the \u201cTwitter Files\u201d here in the United States, the report put forth by The Telegraph<\/em> shows that hidden authoritarian powers were monitoring and silencing those who dared to defy the government\u2019s mandates and restrictions throughout the multi-year nightmare known as \u201ccovid.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report states that the UK government hired a so-called Counter-Disinformation Unit, or CDU, to monitor social media posts that in any way questioned or challenged the government\u2019s lockdown policy. A Whitehall team originally established to counter alleged disinformation during the 2019 European elections, the purpose of the CDU during covid was to silence all \u201cdisinformation\u201d shared online during that time.<\/p>\n

UK government trying to hide full scope of censorship operations through heavy redaction of incriminating documents<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Advanced AI technology was used to scour the internet for offending posts, as were the resources offered by Yorkshire-based Logically, a company that flagged numerous posts made by \u201crespected scientists questioning lockdown or arguing against the mass vaccination of children against Covid-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eventually, many of the posts critical of government lockdown rules were brought to the attention of social media firms, which because they were tagged as \u201ctrusted flagger\u201d received fast-track censorship.<\/p>\n

As for the high-profile skeptics like Prof. Carl Heneghan from the University of Oxford<\/em><\/a>, the CDU tracked and reported these as well.<\/p>\n

Through Freedom of Information Act requests, The Telegraph<\/em> was able to obtain profuse documentation, though heavily censored with redactions, showing that lots of censorship was happening. However, because so much was blacked out, ascertaining the full scope of all that took place remains difficult.<\/p>\n

We do know that there were a number of secretive meetings held between government officials and social media bosses, as well as members of the BBC<\/em>, to discuss how best to stop the spread of so-called \u201cmisinformation\u201d and \u201cdisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The similar use of \u201cstop the spread\u201d language in reference to the spread of \u201cmisinformation\u201d and \u201cdisinformation\u201d almost makes it seem like this is what \u201ccovid\u201d was really about all along: stopping the spread of truth<\/em> during a contrived government \u201cpandemic\u201d psy-op.<\/p>\n

Earlier reports corroborate this latest one from The Telegraph<\/em>. One past report showed that the UK government deployed \u201canti-terrorism\u201d units to help censor anti-lockdown content online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe very concept of \u2018wrong information\u2019 dictated by a central authority is open to abuse and should be considered far more critically, lest we mirror Chinese-style censorship,\u201d commented Silkie Carlo of the Big Brother Watch campaign group, which ironically enough was surveilled by the government\u2019s AI-driven disinformation system.<\/p>\n

\u201cDay by day we are getting closer to enslavement (or rebellion),\u201d wrote a commenter on an article about these latest revelations. \u201cI hope it\u2019s the latter, though I\u2019m too old now to be much help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another quoted Gen. George S. Patton who once said: \u201cWe defeated the wrong enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n
