> how quickly the media erased all signs of this

I've experienced that kind of suppression first hand. Erased from Google search results.
Someone also purchased a domain recently, just to attempt to suppress my open-source project.
I founded OpenV2K, which seeks to open-source pulse modulation, of the microwave auditory effect.
Okay I *was* out to change the world, but I'm just an IT guy, also with a strong sense of right and wrong.
I realized that I had an engineering grasp on how "V2K" was possible, so I proposed a block diagram to the EFF, for public awareness.
What I hear back from media outlets is deafening silence, or social media comment flak cannons, declaring my insanity, for making a 1975 feat, affordable.
The EFF doesn't seem actually interested in the next frontier, of weaponized neuroscience and BCI abuse, they're still stuck on internet surveillance.

I was in county jail for 12 months.. pre-trial detention during COVID. That amount of time is easier in a state prison.
Traded food, read thick books, converted swastikas into pinwheels, folded origami cranes, destroyed bibles.. I kept myself busy.
In my cell, I did wall art with ink from bendy pens (including an :awesome: face), and carved antifa slogans into the paint, with brass pen tips.
Like I overheard someone say at Shelton, the processing center for Washington State, that released me, "one year is just enough to really piss you off".
Whoa were they right. I'm never going back, and I mean that in a dark way. Our prison system is fucked up, but the inmates seemed nice.

I share your cynicism towards this partnership. I've experienced Google Search removing search results for my name. Same query, later date. Google isn't shy about belligerent censorship, so I suppose I'm expecting a Microsoft-esque "embrace, extend, extinguish" series of corporate moves? I do enjoy being wrong, and hopefully this partnership injected some needed funding into the internet archive. The Modulation article on Wikipedia, and my open-source pulse modulation project, wouldn't be the same without them, and the full scanned text of a March 1975 American Psychologist journal publication.

This a hundred times. Uninstalling now, shame on me for still having that app on my otherwise degoogled device.
