Censorship

Censorship articles deliver in-depth analysis of the global censorship industrial complex — the coordinated efforts by governments, Big Tech, agencies, and institutions to suppress dissent — and their devastating impacts on public health, free trade, individual liberty, free speech, open dialogue, scientific debate, and policy reform.

We expose mechanisms like government-sponsored censorship, social media suppression, digital authoritarianism in the West (e.g., UK, Canada, Germany, France), disinformation laundering through agencies (CISA, DHS, Treasury), fact-checking industrial complex, self-censorship in science and medicine, COVID-era narrative control, online scrubbing, and threats to mental health discourse, university independence, and sovereign media. Brownstone critiques how these practices distort medical judgment, erode trust in institutions, enable technocratic overreach, and undermine personal freedoms and evidence-based policy.

All censorship articles from Brownstone Institute are translated into multiple languages to promote global access, foster international resistance to suppression, and empower readers worldwide to defend free expression and challenge centralized control.

By pitting America’s free-speech roar against Europe’s muffle, a First Amendment diplomacy would not just help France — it would spark a global revolution against officialdom. Media freedom isn’t bureaucrat-boxed; it’s people-powered. France, grab the line: Your Rogans are calling.

Matters got worse during the pandemic. Studies that praised the Covid vaccines were quickly certified “peer reviewed,” whereas critical, post-publication peer review was suppressed. As a result, we now have a historical collection of published poor science.
