Leaked Documents Outline US Homeland Security's Plan To Work With Big Tech To Censor Social Media

Leaked Documents Outline DHS’s Plans to Police Disinformation 

The Department of Homeland Security is quietly broadening its efforts to curb speech it considers dangerous, an investigation by The Intercept has found. 

Years of internal DHS memos, emails, and documents — obtained via leaks and an ongoing lawsuit, as well as public documents — illustrate an expansive effort by the agency to influence tech platforms. 

The work, much of which remains unknown to the American public, came into clearer view earlier this year when DHS announced a new “Disinformation Governance Board”: a panel designed to police misinformation (false information spread unintentionally), disinformation (false information spread intentionally), and malinformation (factual information shared, typically out of context, with harmful intent) that allegedly threatens U.S. interests. 

While the board was widely ridiculed, immediately scaled back, and then shut down within a few months, other initiatives are underway as DHS pivots to monitoring social media now that its original mandate — the war on terror — has been wound down.

  2. It's pretty rich that this article has a section surrounding the hunter laptop censorship without so much as once mentioning their own publication playing a huge role in the coverup scandal, to the point of driving Greenwald out of his own company over it.

    Representatives from JPMorgan Chase attended virtually all DHS meetings about federal government efforts to censor disinformation on social media.

    Clearly Trudeau isn't the only western leader planning to go down the route of de-banking dissidents and critics.

  5. After ceasing its COVID vaccination program for children (under the age of 18) in July, Denmark has shut down its COVID vaccination program for everyone under the age of 50.

    The Danish Health Authority explains that:

    "The purpose of the vaccination programme is to prevent severe illness, hospitalisation and death. Therefore, people at the highest risk of becoming severely ill will be offered booster vaccination. The purpose of vaccination is not to prevent infection with covid-19, and people aged under 50 are therefore currently not being offered booster vaccination.

  6. A BIG PROBLEM is the governments disinformation.


    Government forbid that you sue hydrochloroquine or ivermectin off label, but the smartest people (Fauci) in the room wrote protocols that off label use of Remdesivir was good practice

    "In remdesivir's case, that's the virus' genetic material, RNA. The drug proved ineffective against the Ebola virus, however, yet was still subsequently repurposed for SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus."

    So smart people like Fauci saw that remdesivir was neither safe nor effective against ebola. Remdesivir is not approved for any disease/infection. So Fauci gets the bright idea of using it "off label" against COVID.

    COVID has a 1% death rate. Remdesivir has a 25% death rate.


    By virtue of a government office, a government official can do and say outright stupid things, but it is not misinformation.


    Got it.
