Neoliberal pro-imperialist self-declared "gatekeepers" in the corporate media are setting the stage for the Biden-Harris admin and Silicon Valley corporations to even more aggressively censor independent journalists and alternative media in the name of fighting "misinformation"

There shouldn't be any gatekeepers.

The “Corporate Left” pushes censorship under guise of combatting “Disinformation”. Just like every dictator & totalitarian regime, they have to limit bad info from outside agitators sowing discord FOR OUR OWN GOOD! Corporate news is, BY FAR, the biggest pushers of disinformation

The problem, as with so many other problems, is the underlying issue of jobs. They’re disappearing, the ones that by and large exist don’t pay very well. People are nervous—and justifiably so—that leaders aren’t planning for working class future. Gatekeeping is dyke repair.

Amidst the discussion about social media without gatekeepers, we shouldn't ignore the fact that the corporate media has always championed the spread of misinformation. The media wasn't spreading truth in the first place in order to brand the modern times as "the post-truth era".

Correction: In the world of social media with no gatekeepers misinformation CAN win, but is more difficult because the truth is always available. With social media gatekeepers misinformation ALWAYS wins because there is no counterbalance to the gatekeeper's desired narratives.
