This document appears to be page 158 of a manuscript or book draft discussing the sociological and technological concept of "gatekeeping." It compares modern data manipulation and algorithmic control to historical examples like newspaper editing and geopolitical alliances (Triple Entente, Peloponnesian League). The text quotes information theorist Karine Nahon to argue that those subject to gatekeeping ("the gated") retain some agency and choice within these systems. The document bears a House Oversight Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a congressional investigation.
