Biden Unveils Disinformation Governance Board A Day After Elon Musk Buys Twitter

Musk has promised to reestablish free speech on Twitter, which has blacklisted prominent speakers. But the US government has other plans as Biden unveils disinformation governance board one day after Elon Musk buys Twitter.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is being expanded by US President Joe Biden's administration to encompass combating speech that the government considers to be "disinformation."

The new proposal's intentions were exposed on Wednesday, when DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the creation of a "disinformation governance board" during a congressional hearing. Nina Jankowicz, who previously advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and oversaw the National Democratic Institute's Russia and Belarus programs, will lead the new organization.

“Cat’s out of the bag,” Jankowicz said in a Twitter post. “Here's what I've been up to the past two months, and why I’ve been a bit quiet on here.”
