The question mark and everything after can safely be removed from those ugly links and in this case, removing it will prevent facebook from getting credit for the link share.

Pretty sure this is separate from the disinfo board. The disonfo board was something new but the article talks about stuff that went on back in 2020.

These two articles have no date, unless you right click and, View Page Source to see the html output before the browser renders the html. When you do that, you see the dates automatically created by the Yoast SEO plugin for the WordPress software they use. (see green text)

Part 2 was published today. 2022-08-29

If you choose to read the article(s), a little less than half way down the page on Part 1, you see this:

But for purpose of this primer, we begin as background by highlighting that DHS’s “cybersecurity” mandate turned into a “cybercensorship” mandate, with virtually no one in the public being made aware.

How did that happen? At one level, it happened through sheer definitional sleight of hand: in 2017, “cybersecurity” was redefined, effectively, to mean “cyber defense of democracy”; in 2018, “disinformation” was defined, effectively, as a “threat to democracy”; and so by 2019, DHS could cite “cybersecurity” as encompassing “cyber defense against digital disinformation”, requiring varying techniques of digital censorship to stop the digital disinformation.

That’s basically how DHS acquired long-arm jurisdiction over anything alleged to be false on the Internet.

How has DHS gotten away with it? How did people let this happen?

The short answer is that in late 2019, DHS pulled off what we one may call its “foreign-to-domestic ‘disinformation’ switcheroo”.

In the video below, you will see key figures in DHS’s thought leadership, first declaring their dominion to be only “foreign disinformation” in 2016-2017, then a massive power grab to all of “domestic disinformation” in 2019-2020:

This all happened right underneath Trump's nose because all these fedgov agencies are ROGUE having been "fundamentally transformed" by the Obama admin and it may have even started before that. Bush W and co did come up with the Patriot Act which created DHS plus a few other new agencies.(and in record time)

I think the whole disinfo board was a head fake. "We're going to censor you." People pitch a fit. "Ok, you win, we won't censor you." Now everyone's relieved that fedgov isn't going to censor people.

Meanwhile they've already been doing it for years.
