Adrian Wooldridge argues that the real threat of the 'Nanny State' lies not with the government but with Big Tech, which has unprecedented power over people's preferences. He suggests that the 'Nanny State' should be embraced as a means to free individuals from the influence of big companies and base appetites. The combination of Big Tech's AI technology and state bureaucracy is seen as having terrifying implications for freedom of speech, with concerns raised about the intersection between AI and censorship in Congress.
I've done about 60-70 interviews this year on the topic of AI censorship, which both Congress (@Weaponization) held a hearing on today & @HomelandGOP wrote a report on today. Here's a 🧵of a dozen of my vids so you understand it. First, a primer on the AI Censorship Death Star: https://t.co/10hb14chQO

We should stop apologizing for the Nanny State as an unfortunate limitation on freedom and start recognizing it for what it is: a chance to improve our lives and free ourselves from the overweening power of big companies and base appetites, https://t.co/5o7lHfCeSm via @opinion
The biggest threat to freedom these days does not come from a state. It comes from a rapacious corporate world that has more power over our preferences than any world has ever had before, https://t.co/5o7lHfCeSm via @opinion
The idea that the nanny state is a bad thing rests on the assumption that individuals are isolated, rational entities, who are the best judges of their long-term interests. This has never been a remotely realistic view of human nature. https://t.co/5o7lHfCeSm via @opinion
The phrase “nanny state” has only ever been used to crush common sense and block social progress, https://t.co/5o7lHfCeSm via @opinion
It's time to embrace--nay celebrate--the Nanny State, https://t.co/5o7lHfCeSm via @opinion
