If you thought the government abolishing the Disinformation Governance Board meant we were free of government censorship, you would be very disappointed. They have every intention of policing speech. Ken Klippenstein and Lee Fang of The Intercept, found through communications that the Department of Homeland Security plans to expand its years-long influencing of tech platforms.
DHS plans to target inaccurate information on “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine.”
Facebook created a special portal for DHS and government partners to report disinformation directly. We can now expect it to expand.
“There is also a formalized process for government officials to directly flag content on Facebook or Instagram and request that it be throttled or suppressed through a special Facebook portal that requires a government or law enforcement email to use. At the time of writing, the “content request system” at facebook.com/xtakedowns/login is still live. DHS and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, did not respond to a request for comment. The FBI declined to comment.”
DHS claims that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 election and they set out on a mission to end disinformation.
Of course, the government is one of the biggest sources of disinformation, and we can expect them to expand that too. Watch:

I guess the implied embarrassment of getting caught is only realized on individuals who can self check and have an actual conscience to walk that mile in someone else’s shoes of self reflection. These humanoids aren’t concerned in the least about Earthly aliens, because they are the real aliens… They have no respect for law or governance, no empathy for anything, and there’s no body of our government 5hey respect or and answer to. They fly a blatant finger to anyone wanting information about anything. People die mysteriously, they disappear, and they land in jail with no due process, no outside communication, and no court date for being in vocal disagreement with them. I guess we’ll have to hunt them down one at a time.
There is Separation of Church and State and there is Separation of the Press and State. Under the 1st Amendment, the Government has no control over either!
The House, The People’s House needs to bring this to the Supreme Court and the Court’s Remedy needs to be Defunding! It’s even possible that the DHS is Unconstitutional.
Just like it is in North Korea, like it was in Fidel Castro s Cuba, like it was in Saddam Hussein s Irak; only what the one party government aproves will be called the truth.
The point of no return is nearly reached. No US house run by McCarthy will stop this. GOPe will block any shutdown of funds by congress. There is no mechanism available to stop this.
