About The Author
Andrew Lowenthal
Andrew Lowenthal spent twenty-five years on the progressive left advocating for free speech online, only to watch progressives abandon one of their most central values. Andrew worked with Matt Taibbi on the Twitter Files as a researcher and project manager. He released three Twitter Files himself on the censorship of RFK Jr, censorship of COVID-19 dissent in Australia, and collaboration by NGOs and academia with the intelligence community to promote censorship. With Taibbi, he led the mapping of the Censorship-Industrial Complex, revealing the vast network of institutions working to suppress speech online.
Born in Tasmania, Australia, Andrew is a former fellow of Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, the Harvard Film Studies Center, and the MIT Open Documentary Lab. He is the co-founder and former executive director of EngageMedia, an Asia-Pacific digital rights and open technology nonprofit he led for almost eighteen years.
