Big Tech & the Free Speech Frauds Making...

RANIA KHALEK
About this episode

The Gaza genocide isn’t just happening on the ground. It’s being enforced through code, algorithms, blacklists, and billion-dollar tech firms.

Meta is censoring the truth. Microsoft is complicit in the genocide machine. AI is targeting students. Rupert Murdoch’s empire manufactures the lies to justify it all.

This isn’t the future, it’s now. And the fight for Palestine is the front line of a global war on dissent.

Rapper and activist Lowkey joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches to expose the machinery of techno-fascism, the empire’s digital mask, and the collaborators who hide genocide behind cries of free speech.
