la lettera indirizzata al segretario del dipartimento di Homeland Security si chiude con la richiesta di rispondere a dieci semplici (?) domande: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- In order for us to better understand the role of the DGB and DHS’s efforts to counter disinformation, we ask that you respond to the following no later than June 21, 2022. 1. Has DHS at any point in time asked or suggested to Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, or any other social media executives that they should censor, flag, add context to, or remove any social media posts that it believes to be disinformation? 2. Has DHS at any point in time asked or suggested to Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, or any other social media executives that they suspend or ban the account(s) of individuals believed to be promoting information it believes to be disinformation? 3. Please provide all documents, including all written and electronic communications, memoranda, and organizational documents, related to the DGB from the point that DHS first considered establishing a DGB until the present. 4. Please provide all documents, including all written and electronic communications and memoranda, related to Nina Jankowicz’s selection as Executive Director of the DGB. 5. Please explain why, in your public statements and testimony before Congress, you have not fully explained the key role that the DGB was designed to play in coordinating among DHS components and engaging the assistance of the private sector. 6. Please explain how DHS defines “MDM” (mis-, dis-, and mal- information, n.d.r) and how DHS decides whether a given news story or other piece of information fits its definition of “MDM.” Please identify who exactly is ultimately responsible for making this determination. 7. Please explain the criteria DHS uses when deciding whether to spend taxpayer resources addressing a particular news item or narrative that it has classified as “MDM.” 8. Please describe all safeguards that DHS has put in place to ensure that its efforts to counter the spread of disinformation do not infringe on Americans’ constitutional right to free speech. 9. Did DHS Under Secretary for the Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans Robert Silvers meet with Twitter executives on April 28, 2022? If so, please provide a summary of topics discussed during the meeting. 10. Please define what DHS means by the phrase, “operationalizing public-private partnerships.” --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- ...to be continued?
