IN BRIEF

The Facts:
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security is creating a "Disinformation Governance Board" to combat misinformation.
Efforts to control information are at an all time high, and are being done under the guise of "protecting democracy."
Reflect On:
Are we seeing a continual take over of the information landscape?
Who will decide what is misinformation?
What are we to do about what is considered misinformation today but is no longer misinformation months later? Do the punished voices get apologies or their lost revenue back?

In February the US Department of Homeland Security stated that sharing “misinformation” online may be considered domestic terrorism. The latest news with regards to Homeland Security’s efforts came from their Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He testified Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security has created a “Disinformation Governance Board” to combat misinformation ahead of the 2022 midterms, but the effort has long been underway.


Mayorkas said the Disinformation Governance Board will be led by Undersecretary for Policy Rob Silver, and co-chaired with principal deputy general counsel Jennifer Gaskill. The board will be headed by executive director Nina Jankowicz.

News of the Disinformation Governance Board comes two days after Tesla CEO Elon Musk secured a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, a move that seemingly caused panic among many who fear more free speech on Twitter may be a bad thing. We go into a deeper discussion about that here if you’re interested.


According to Mayorkas, the department of Homeland Security claims they are seeing a growing connection between disinformation and the alleged ongoing threat posed by domestic extremism...

This isn’t scary at all…
