From Snowden to Silence: The Guardian’s Shift Toward Censorship Advocacy

This week’s Guardian editorial – essentially endorsing and even asking for more online censorship (“regulation”) in the name of “higher goals” – clearly demonstrates the degree of political radicalization undergone over the last decade or so by the legacy media.

It’s the same UK newspaper that was among those who helped Edward Snowden get information out and allow people around the world to learn about the enormous government surveillance and spying apparatus; but at the end of 2024, the Guardian was severely critical of X owner Elon Musk – whom the Guardian of 2013 would have easily praised, for the Twitter Files alone.
