Twenty years of the WSWS; Unilever demands crackdown on oppositional Internet content

From WSWS:

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of the World Socialist Web Site. On February 14, 1998, the International Committee of the Fourth International launched the WSWS, posting articles five days a week. In April 1999, the WSWS extended its schedule to posting articles six days a week. In the course of 20 years, the World Socialist Web Sitehas not missed a single day of scheduled publication. This anniversary represents a significant milestone in the history of the international socialist and workers’ movement. The WSWS was the first, and remains the only, daily socialist and Marxist international publication. The WSWS operates on a 24-hour schedule, with each day’s postings the product of intense collaboration by editorial boards operating on four continents. We encourage you to read and share the WSWS perspective on the anniversary. Leave you comment on the article explaining what the WSWS has meant to you. As it marks its 20th year of publication, the WSWS is engaged in a fight to defend the Internet. The capitalist ruling elites, deeply discredited and beset by internal political conflicts, are turning toward authoritarian forms of rule. Everywhere, the ruling class is terrified of the growth of social opposition in the working class. It is this fear that underlies the coordinated campaign to censor and control the Internet, under the guise of combating “fake news.” Help us fight internet censorship by making a donation to the WSWS 20th year anniversary fund.
