as posted by the channelForeign Billionaire Says US Needs Government Control of Social Media and First Amendment Limits
An Israeli cyber security billionaire named Shlomo Kramer appeared on CNBC calling for limits on the First Amendment in America. Kramer, who is not an American citizen and whose country has no First Amendment, stated that the US government needs to take control of social media platforms and implement restrictions on what Americans can post online. The timing of these remarks coincides with major media consolidation, including the Tik Tok sale to Larry Ellison, a major Israeli Defense Forces donor, and changes at CBS News under new leadership.
Hawk examines the broader implications of these statements within the context of current authoritarianism, media consolidation by figures like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Ellison family, and what this means for free speech in America. The video explores connections between media ownership, political influence, and the Trump administration's approach to dissent and civil liberties.
Looking ahead to 2026, Hawk analyzes predictions about potential detention of American citizens who disagree politically with the administration, voter suppression efforts leading up to midterm elections, and the erosion of constitutional protections including First Amendment, Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The video connects Shlomo Kramer's statements about government control of social media to broader patterns of authoritarian messaging and the consolidation of media power in America.
