I’m more surprised they thought others would accept it.
Is the government allowed to fact check information they disseminate? Basically is the government allowed to be an expert on what they do or say?
of course. Takes no disinformation board to do that. That is what the public information section does. The limits of this board were never that clear. Are they going to seek out opinions they disagree with and respond, like a forum poster? We’re they going to try to influence Facebook or Twitter? It was never that clear. But if they were going to just continue releasing public information….takes no board.

paused”
Lib speak for we are going to wait until the media ignores this long enough you forget about it then, BAM!
I think in this case “paused” means they’re looking for a better way to sell this ridiculous idea to the public.

But if they were going to just continue releasing public information….takes no board.
That’s your opinion. If the government is allowed to fact check their own information… then no issue, right?

I’m surprised they announced the creation of this board publicly. Next time just tacitly create some innocuous sounding internal committee that performs the same function.
They can’t do it that way, social media companies need to be able to point to it and say, sorry this is disinfo according to the government agency in charge of determining truth when they ban someone or pull a story.

No. It’s pretty sinister to have a government bureau tell us what the truth is. I’m just surprised they did it so clumsily.
I agree. Good thing thats not what it’s going to be, huh?
Why are you defending this horse ■■■■ ?
So the “disinformation board” is peddling disinformation?
Classic

Most if not all agencies have a public information section. It does things like respond to journalists. Presumably so does the agency that was going to create this board. What additional things would this board have done? I guess we may never know for sure, now.

The fact the poster threw up a BS premise to begin with tells you how they really feel. There is no point in explaining it to the same people who felt it was perfectly fine to discuss fines, jail time etc. for those choosing not to take a jibby jab.
Pretending this is the government policing THEIR own information is not what this was ever about. Even the people creating it weren’t stupid enough to try and peddle that crap.

Show otherwise. Show the government is trying to control information that they don’t disseminate.
Thanks
Nah, you made a claim they are. How about you pony up instead.
I still can’t comprehend the level of zealotry it must take to support this ridiculousness in any fashion.

Perhaps not the board itself in this particular case, but elements within the administration certainly are.
Including the head of this farce. At least she “resigned”.

Because it’s a tempest in a tea pot. You guys are spinning it up into something it isn’t going to be.
The point is, it shouldn’t “be” at all.

She should have never been in the position to resign from in the first place.

It’s sad is what it is. Nobody in the left should be supporting this level of government over reach. I am not even getting into slippery slopes. Just in and of itself this is a bad idea
