so we're putting Mary Poppins with no government experience in charge of clearing info from the CIA and every other federal agency to effect these goals???? I'm not optimistic
"The irony is that this board is really kind of boring,” said a DHS official who was not authorized to address the topic on the record. “It was designed to protect against the very thing that we’re being accused of doing — that is, it was designed to protect the free speech, privacy, civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans.” https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/05/dhs-disinformation-board-mayorkas-00030123 From what I have seen of Nina Jankowicz records she does indeed appear to be very experienced for this role and much of the criticism directed at her about her tweets do seem taken out of context. This looks like political theatre and a lot of misunderstanding on what this board actually does.
well again the board really doesn't exist yet in anything like its permanent mature form, so we'll all have to wait a while to see how it shapes up
Of course, they haven't had their first meeting. And I think it's good people voice their concerns, that alone can help the board be mindful of those concerns in how it executes its mission.
As disturbing as this is, it has nothing to do with this thread or the disinformation board which is designed only to monitor and report on disinformation from foreign sources that pose a threat to national security (harm to civilians). This doesn't meet any of those criteria.
There are plenty of countries that already have disinformation boards. N Korea China Russia Iran Should I go on?
As an inward facing functionary for its own agencies it makes sense, but the person they have running it seems more interested in talking about outward facing interventions involving the public, this person is literally talking about the ability to edit people's messages. But what they need more than anything is closer to Israel's 10th man, because insane levels of group think that has been leading to almost comical failures of epic proportions
can you show me where she stated this? Not saying she didn't but I am very curious to see it for myself.
this has been reported but is apparently taken out of context from some zoom talk she gave two years ago
Her specialty is Russia fwiw. I never cared about Russian election interference, I don't think minds can be changed that easily but false information aimed at migrants for example is a legitimate problem That's not a CIA responsibility.
I don't have a problem with her academic background, I actually noted the same last month: https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/...-governance-board.315664/page-2#post-14069406 my problem is more with her general lack of government experience and with the idea of the DGB more generally fair enough
it's those darn right-wing attacks How the Biden administration let right-wing attacks derail its disinformation efforts A ‘pause’ of the Department of Homeland Security’s newly created board comes after its head, Nina Jankowicz, was the victim of coordinated online attacks as the administration struggled to respond https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/18/disinformation-board-dhs-nina-jankowicz/
