What to Do with a Win? - The “Ministry of Truth” Is Paused, Not Cancelled

Paragraph from link above selected by Ye Editor:

"So…the DGB was going to combat “disinformation” without policing speech or censorship?  How the DGB would determine what constitutes “disinformation” and how it would combat it without policing speech or censorship – let alone without the new governmental entity producing an unconstitutional chilling effect upon free speech – is not elaborated upon by the DHS.  Never mind that just last month in his congressional testimony it was reported that Secretary Mayorkas claimed the DGB would “police election-related disinformation aimed at minority voters”; and “communicate directly with communities, particularly minorities, that his department felt were being misled.”  True, the DHS rapidly issued a “clarification” alleging the DGB would actually “help harmonize existing efforts on disinformation and would share best practices internally.”  Oh well, guess we’ll just have to trust them."
