The companies building America's AI infrastructure and collecting billions in government support are the same companies that spent years censoring vaccine injury reports, COVID information, and the voices of the people who turned out to be right. That is not ancient history. It was a few years ago, and the consequences were real.
@DowdEdward thinks that censorship kills, and he has said so publicly. The former CEO of YouTube stated she was proud that her platform removed over a million COVID videos. Most of what was removed was accurate. The people who were silenced, the researchers, the journalists, the injured, have largely been vindicated by the record that has since emerged.
Should those companies now be handed the keys to the most consequential infrastructure buildout in American history, backed by government subsidies and operating with minimal accountability? Dowd's answer is no, and he does not trust them to get it right.
