MIT Technology Review hosted a roundtable examining the 'censorship-industrial complex' concept — the claim that government, tech, and research institutions collaborate to suppress conservative online speech. The session explores how this framing moved from right-wing media into US federal policy and what implications it may hold for democracy and the internet. The item is a media event summary rather than a policy document or research finding, and its AI relevance is tangential at best.
