Ai Weiwei, one of the most influential artists in the world, is warning of the dangers of censorship, including here in the U.S.: “I think West are no longer defending very basic humanity, rationality, human rights, freedom of speech — all those things are purposely being neglected.”
Weiwei told @anthonymasoncbs about his new book, “On Censorship,” and experiencing surveillance in his own home.
