Buonasera nexiane prima vi faccio una semplicissima domanda: cosa sarebbe successo se al posto di Biden ci fosse stato Trump a organizzare "un DGB" nella forma e nei modi che stanno lentamente emergendo? https://t.me/rossobruni/21234 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- I senatori repubblicani Chuck Grassley (Iowa) e Josh Hawley (Missouri) hanno ottenuto documenti che rivelano come già da settembre 2021 il "comitato contro la disinformazione" del Dipartimento della sicurezza interna degli USA (DHS) avesse elaborato piani per monitorare la discussione sulle piattaforme social su questioni come le origini e gli effetti dei vaccini COVID-19 o l'efficacia delle mascherine. Tra le altre cose il DHS avrebbe fornito ordini di marcia a Twitter e altri social media ed elaborato progetti per 'rendere operative' le sue relazioni con società private di social media con l'obiettivo di attuare i suoi obiettivi di politica pubblica". --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- il documento completo di 36 pagine è qui: https://www.grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/grassley_hawley_to_deptofhomel... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Department of Homeland Security (DHS) information obtained by our offices through protected whistleblower disclosures raises serious concerns about DHS’s recently-paused Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) [...] Documents show that, contrary to your May 4, 2022, testimony before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the DGB was established to serve as much more than a simple “working group” to “develop guidelines, standards, [and] guardrails” for protecting civil rights and civil liberties.1 In fact, DHS documents show that the DGB was designed to be the Department’s central hub, clearinghouse and gatekeeper for Administration policy and response to whatever it happened to decide was “disinformation.” [...] some of the examples of disinformation given in the memo relate not only to foreign disinformation but issues that have been at the heart of domestic political discourse for the past several years. For instance, the memo refers to “conspiracy theories about the validity and security of elections” and “disinformation related to the origins and effects of COVID-19 vaccines or the efficacy of masks.” [...] Toward that end, we are releasing documents we have collected during our investigation as an attachment to this letter. [...] Documents also suggest that the Department has been working on plans to “operationalize” its relationships with private social media companies to implement its public policy goals. [...] DHS theorizes that “by sharing information, DHS can empower these partners to mitigate threats such as providing information to technology companies enabling them to remove content at their discretion and consistent with their terms of service. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Saluti, 380° -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
