Mike Benz, Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, says domestic censorship officials’ professional specialty is “overthrowing governments around the world” using censorship tactics. “Mobilizing social media revolutions by getting tens or hundreds of thousands of people in a foreign country on payroll through the university system...This has been a playbook that our State Department developed in 2007 when the smartphone came out,” Benz explains.
