Department of Homeland Security creates board to counter online "disinformation"

[SolidStateSurvivor]

From the same goons that brought you the greatest hits of The Patriot Act, here comes the Disinformation Governance Board (DGB). Critics have been quick to label it a "Ministry of Truth," while the US right have been particularity outspoken with the DGB's head official, Nina Jankowicz. Jankowicz was vocal about her belief that the Hunter Biden laptop was a "Trump campaign product" pushed by Russians. This opinion echoed by her and other head intelligence officials helped lead to the story being outright censored by Twitter as disinformation right before the 2020 presidential election.

The formation of the DGB comes amid a renewed push by lawmakers in both the US and EU to suppress and censor mainstream social media, perhaps prompted in part by Elon Musk's purchasing of Twitter and their fear he will allow misinformation, disinformation, conspiracies, and hate speech to spread. My speculation is that the formation of the DGB is a preemptive tactic to stop an potential claims of election fraud come 2024 (unless it's le Russians doing it!!)

As of now, it appears the DHS is focused on combating online "misinformation" regarding Covid, Russia, and election fraud. How they will go about ensuring "the truth" is the main narrative I am unsure, but I do not like where this is heading at all. Could be a precedent for shutting down political opposition in general. Homeland Security has a terrible track record when it comes to abusing it's power after all.

There's no "precedent." Determining the "truth" in this context means on one hand determining what people are allowed to say, and on the other claiming infallibility for yourself (even assuming that "truth" is something which exists beyond human perception); how else could you be constantly expected to know "the truth," since otherwise you'd be countering true information/spreading false information yourself and acting anthithetically to your supposed purpose? All "truth" means is "politically advantageous;" this is meant to be used against political opposition and will be used for that on day 1.

"Ministry of Truth" heh
It's nice to have something to point back to that most people recognize to identify seemingly-novel (and dystopian) developments.
Also: these globalists and their boards amirite???

This is actually a great idea. Fellow American civilians, These organizations are only concerned for our safety. That's why the DGB exists, because uneducated people need to differentiate between freedom of speech and threats to our nation's safety.

For example, the CIA. The CIA has never benefitted the united states to any significant degree, and we CANNOT let the CIA take more from our well earned budget! Those stupid FUCKS do not deserve one cent, I will personally drive this nation to the ground if it means CIAtards can't get their greasy paws on my paycheck

A very very evil idea but we live in a uncensorable blockchain media and blogging world. Have no clue how they can do this effectivity at all

They can't. It's a last ditch effort by a losing power.

Weird take Mr glow. The mixing of positions is too obvious though, you need to work on your subtlety.

The timing of this announcement is a bit too coincidental to me and feels like an implicit confirmation that the previous administration of Twitter was pretty willing if not actively working with government agents to make these sorts of decisions already

Wait, you mean people didn't already know this for years?

Well yeah but now I get to point it out without being dismissed as a schizo

and next will be internet hatespeach laws

time to make those alphabet boys earn their paycheck

They can't stop the truth anymore than they can stop their own military embarrassments and war crimes from leaking. Swing and a miss from the feds. It's like someone issued a challenge to the Biden administration to get as many Ls as possible in the shortest amount of time.

It's already getting mocked as the ministry of truth. Did they seriously not foresee this would happen or are they literally all illiterate boomers? I predict that this will cause new laws to be written by abusing the "safety", "security" loopholes in freedom of speech. Maybe they'll throw in the classic "protect children" trope.

I hope you all are ready to hear "If you don't like it, build your own ISP". This wont stop. The final interpolation of this is "If you don't like it, build your own governing state"

Seems like an act of desperation. Sometimes I feel like shit isn't as bad as we think and these boomer alphabet boys genuinely have no clue what to do with us.

It's true. We've finally won and it's all starting to fall apart for them.

This is an old copypasta iirc. While the overly medicated are submissive agents, the outliner "extremist" free thinkers are not the goal. The general population's obedience matters more than anything else. Schizos like us are but a flake in the pan (for the most part). Not like any normies are going to travel the Agora Roads.

Yes, but the average person is not this well inclined. They want the normies dumbed down (or ignorant) and increased policing of the net will keep them in this state. Sure these alternatives exist, but reaching, or expanding, the main audience is lost. It doesn't matter unless you have someone that can get the proper message out in a palatable manner.

Biden puts disinfo ‘Mary Poppins’ on ice, scraps Orwellian DHS board

The Homeland Security board was set to be led by director Nina Jankowicz and had a mandate to fight the spread of "disinformation."
