Hillary Clinton calls for THOUGHT POLICE, echoing her persistent crusade for censorship
At the World Forum 2025 in Berlin, Hillary Clinton called for more control over information and censorship to combat the rise of “autocrats,” criticizing the Trump administration for empowering those who control information flow.
Clinton highlighted the influence of information on thought, speech, and action, using George Orwell’s “1984” to illustrate the dangers of a world without agreed-upon facts and the resulting erosion of trust and democracy.
She urged social media companies to enhance censorship efforts and advocated for the repeal of Section 230, arguing that without moderation, these platforms could cause real-world harm.
Her pro-censorship stance has sparked controversy, with critics suggesting it aims to stifle dissenting voices and maintain control over the narrative, raising questions about who defines “facts” and “truth.”
Clinton is not alone in her views; former Secretary of State John Kerry shares concerns about governing in an era where traditional “referees” of facts have lost influence, highlighting the tension between control and free speech principles.
In a world where former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is on the verge of obscurity, she has once again thrust herself and her relentless crusade for censorship into the spotlight.
“We now have a government in the U.S. that has thrown in its lot with the autocrats, which has made a choice to support those who wage war, not peace,” Clinton remarked at the event. She also accused the incumbent administration of U.S. President Donald Trump of giving “enormous power to the men who control the information flow in our world” and pledging “allegiance to the continuation of algorithms that not only addict us, but poison us with hatred and fear.”
“Information determines how we think, and how we think determines what we say, and what we say determines what we do,” continued Clinton. She also made reference to the novel “1984” by George Orwell in her speech at the event.
“Where there are no facts that are agreed upon, that happen right before your eyes, and you have leaders telling you to ignore it, that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin did not invade Ukraine, that Ukraine somehow brought it upon itself, where there are no facts, there cannot be truth. And where there is no truth, there cannot be trust. And where there is no trust, there cannot be democracy and peace.”
Clinton’s passionate argument during her speech in Berlin hinges on the idea that information shapes thought, thought shapes speech, and speech shapes action. However, her vision of controlling information to shape reality raises critical questions about who decides what constitutes “facts” and “truth.” Her long-standing crusade against freedom of speech suggests a desire for a narrative controlled by globalist elites – a narrative that, if challenged, could unravel their grip on power.
Crooked Hillary’s censorship crusade
This is not the first time Clinton has championed such a cause, having made similar remarks as recently as October 2024. She appeared on CNN at the time,advocating for social media companies to ramp up censorship efforts. Clinton argued that without such measures, there would be a loss of “total control.”
During her interview with Michael Smerconish, Clinton criticized the legal framework that grants internet platforms immunity from liability for user-generated content, known as Section 230. Clinton believes that without active moderation, platforms like Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok could cause real-world harm.
Clinton’s comments came amid growing concerns within the Democratic Party about the spread of information online, particularly following Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in 2022. Under Musk’s leadership, the platform, now known as X, has adopted a more hands-off approach to content moderation, allowing for a broader range of viewpoints to be expressed.
The former first lady isn’t the only one espousing a pro-censorship view. Former Secretary of State John Kerry, who succeeded Clinton at the State Department, lamented the challenges posed by the First Amendment in controlling information flow during a World Economic Forum sustainability meeting
“It’s really hard to govern today,” Kerry said. “The referees we used to have to determine what’s a fact and what isn’t a fact has been eviscerated to a certain degree.”
Had Clinton won the 2016 election, her vision of a censorship regime in America might have become a reality. Her persistent calls for censorship highlight a fundamental tension between the desire for control and the principles of free speech that underpin democracy.
