Take a look at the Funding page, lest you think this is some Democratic party organ only.https://datasociety.net/about/#funding

Even edgier conservatives are dismissing this report as simple agitprop. But it's far, far more than that! Did you look at the list of Funding organizations? MacArthur! Ford! Samsung!

So what's going on here? Remember 'Manipulating Procedural Outcomes'? Okay, so what you're seeing is part of The Procedure for establishing why certain actions need to be taken, such as deplatforming, defunding, and eventually, FOSTA/SESTA/PATRIOT-like legislation.

How so? Because, well in our 'scientific society,' you first need 'data' and 'evidence.' So, along comes an organization unheard of until recently, lavishly funded by all the elite Foundations, to generously provide you with why Certain People Online are Dangerous.

As you may have noticed, a whole batch of media articles and coverage of the report was then unleashed next, to confer legitimacy and focus the attention of the Sovereign upon this New Menace.

that's how bogus nonsense achieves "legitimacy" to most normies, look up the dilbert episode about chronic cubicle syndrome, its the exact same process- get enough outlets that have "legitimacy" conferred on them to report something and NPCs will believe in unquestionably.

Yeah, once you confer 'legitimacy,' you move on to the rest of The Procedure. The faux 'debate,' the pre-formed legislation/corporate policy etc, and anyone who wants to actually debate such actions has now conferred upon himself the 'illegitimate' title.

like how Kav being labelled a rapist is a foregone conclusion to the mainstream media, any deviation from it follows a set of procedures designed to demonize the position, it might not work in this case because even normies see its a nothingburger, but still.

Yes I believe the salient fact of the Current Year (+4) is the exceeding transparency of The Manipulation. Sure, most of the everyday manipulation that happens while governing a nation of 300 million is not visible to us, but the public aspects are increasingly so.

I think Moldbug said something like 'if the cathedral were working as designed, this blog wouldn't exist' or something
