Thought Police alarm: U.S. urges you to confront friends' 'misinformation' DHS meanwhile targeting 'terror threat' from 'false' COVID, election 'narratives'

The Biden administration has awarded $5 million to a group of journalists developing software to encourage Americans to confront their friends over "harmful" posts and to "correct misinformation" such as stating the COVID-19 vaccines are not effective.

The group, called Hacks/Hackers, also is organizing censorship of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, to determine who is a "credible source" on vaccines and block others from being cited, the Daily Wire reported.

Users of the taxpayer-funded software – the Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust, or ARTT – are encouraged to paste in their friends' Twitter and Facebook posts. The tool will tell them how "harmful" the posts are.

The funding came from the U.S. National Science Foundation.

ARTT, according to the federally funded group, is a "suite of expert-informed resources that are intended to provide guidance and encouragement to individuals and communities as they address contentious or difficult topics online."

Oh, a suite of "expert-informed resources". I see. How about NO! Last I checked one could voice an opinion right or wrong. Guess those days are over eh? Remind me again who the arbiter is of these things and who made them such. And, who has the money to take on the govt? Even Elon doesn't have that much money. 🐂💩

"Guidance" = "Do what we tell you."

Whatever happened to the wise adage that the proper response to false free speech is more free speech. Its not editorial or electronic censorship and “cancelling”. Long live FR.

The so called “fact checkers” have already compromised themselves with their overt bias and prejudicial research. The Epoch Times publishes information on the train wreck of the Wuhan virus mRNA injection debacle that no other MSM will touch even though there are substantial credible sources that are telling the truth. The “fact checkers” ignored the Hunter Biden laptop information as well as information on the security lapses within the offices of Swalwell, Clinton, Pelosi, and other major Democratic leaders.

From their website...

https://artt.cs.washington.edu/about/

“Hacks/Hackers and the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington are ARTT’s lead organizations. Partner and collaborating organizations include Wikimedia DC, Social Science Research Council (SSRC), Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, National Public Health Information Coalition and others. Advisement also comes from a member of the World Health Organization’s Vaccine Safety Net.”

Of note is Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, with the rather darkly iconic acronym CHOP, involved in gender surgeries on minors.

Just a heartbeat away from being required to turn folks in for disagreement with the official government doctrines of the new boss. And they said it will never happen here. Watch and learn.

to determine who is a "credible source"

Wouldn't that be someone who was right all along? Or no?

I’ll start.

I think that my pal Joe Biden might be up to some shenanigans that are hurting our country.
