Each society has its regime of truth, its
“generalized politics” of truth; that is,
the types of discourse which it accepts
and makes function as truth, the
mechanisms and instances which
enable one to distinguish true and false
statements, the means by which each
is sanctioned…the status of those who
are charged with saying what counts as true.
- Michel Foucault

Protection Act (1998)
“Perhaps we do the minors of this country harm if First Amendment protections, which they will with age inherit fully, are chipped
away in the name of their protection.”

Knowledge linked to power, not only
assumes the authority of ‘the truth’ but
has the power to make itself true. All
knowledge, once applied in the real
world, has real effects, and in that
sense at least, ‘becomes true’.
Knowledge, once used to regulate the
conduct of others, entails constraint,
regulation and the disciplining of practices.
- Stuart Hall
The discourse of cyber-safety and cyber-
censorship manufactures consent through
a hegemonic force that overlooks the
invasion of online advertising or marketing
strategies targeted at children…I contend
that the mainstream articulation of cyber-
paranoia attempts to reach the consent of
parents and educators by asking them to
see some internet content as value-laden
(i.e. nudity, sexuality, trigger words, or
adult content) while disguising the interests
and authority of profitable commercial and
computer industries (in the form of
advertising, marketing, tracking, and filters).
