WebM: John Campbell on censorship of COVID-19 scientists in social control media

Published 7 hours ago: (Google's YouTube also censors him a lot; he had not published any videos for over a fortnight, which is unusual)

Secretive Covid-era ‘spy’ agency brought in to monitor social media during riots

National Security Online Information Team,

to play central role in response to violence sweeping UK

A secretive government agency used to “spy on” anti-lockdown campaigners during the Covid pandemic

The Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU),

(set up in March 2020 to combat “false coronavirus information online”

now named,

National Security Online Information Team (NSOIT)

(just months after MPs called for an independent review of its activities)

Peter Kyle, Science, Innovation and Technology Secretary

Has asked NSOIT to monitor online activity (after 3 children murdered)

Privileged access to social media moderators

Monitored by Counter Disinformation Unit

Professor Carl Heneghan, (Director Oxford Centre for EBM)

Molly Kingsley, (keep schools open)

David Davis MP who (called for the CDU to be shut down)

Described the Counter Disinformation Unit

“one of the most opaque units in Government outside the security services” and accused it of “spying on” free speech.

Silkie Carlo

“There are serious questions as to whether (National Security Online Information Team) NSOIT is fit for this task,

given its chilling track record of monitoring the lawful and accurate speech of journalists, scientists, parliamentarians,

human rights advocates and members of the public during the pandemic when they rightly questioned the government’s pandemic management.

“It’s worrying to see NSOIT brought into action shortly after its controversial activities were exposed, and before it has been subject to the important independent review the culture committee called for.”

“a deceptively-named shadowy Whitehall cell, which operates far beyond national security”

If the Government were to stray into censoring lawful free speech it could

“inflame tensions and distrust rather than promote social harmony”.

Commons culture, media and sport committee, April 2024

questioned

“the lack of transparency and accountability of [NSOIT] and the appropriateness of its reach”
