whistleblower info on DGB (Disinformation Governance Board)
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.

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?
