: When did the U.S. government get started with internet censorship?

@mikebenzcyber
: "It started in 2014 with the Ukraine coup and the counter-coup. In 2014, we had about 25 years of successful free-speech diplomacy, and then we successfully overthrew the government of Ukraine. Our Assistant Secretary of State, Victoria Nuland, handed out cookies and water bottles to violent street protestors as they surrounded the parliament building and ran the democratically elected government out of office.

But then the eastern side of Ukraine completely broke away, and they didn't respect this new U.S.-installed government. Crimea voted in a referendum to join the Russian Federation, which set in motion events that would end the concept of free speech diplomacy... NATO formally declared that it was no longer just about tanks, but it was about controlling tweets, and then Brexit happened in June 2016.

The very next month, NATO added hybrid warfare to its formal charter, basically authorizing the military, diplomatic sphere, and intelligence world to take control of social media. Then, five months later, Trump won the election while being called a Russian asset, so all that infrastructure was redirected home to the U.S."
