[quote=Anonymous]Not sure the person they picked is the best person to lead it but in principle it is  an excellent idea to try to better monitor and contain online misinformation. It is not Orwellian to seek to protect ourselves from the onslaught of false information that plagues us and other Western countries. Orwellian would be creating propaganda to steer people towards voting for authoritarian dictators and not to protecting information flows so that people can vote according to more rational preferences.

“Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security is creating a "Disinformation Governance Board" to combat misinformation ahead of the 2022 midterms.

Mayorkas appeared before the House Appropriations Subcommittee to discuss the fiscal 2023 budget for the Department of Homeland Security.

Rep. Lauren Underwood, D-Ill., cited reports on how minority communities are being targeted in misinformation campaigns and asked Mayorkas what DHS will do to address it.”[/quote]
