    Conservatives on social media slammed the Biden administration after it
    was announced that a 'Disinformation Governance Board' is being
    established to combat ‘disinformation’ in the 2022 midterms.

    Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified Wednesday that
    a "Disinformation Governance Board" had recently been created, days
    after Tesla CEO Elon Musk purchased Twitter, to combat online
    disinformation and will be led by Undersecretary for Policy Rob Silvers co-chair with principal deputy general counsel Jennifer Gaskill.

    "The goal is to bring the resources of (DHS) together to address this
    threat," Mayorkas said, adding that the department is focused on the
    spread of disinformation in minority communities.

    What do you think about that Josh? Would you have liked Trump to set
    up a board like that?

    I'd have no problem if it fought what it thought was bad speech with
    more speech. I'd have a big problem if it censored what it thought was
    bad speech.

    We will just have to see how they go about it.

    I just don't like the federal government telling people what the truth
    is.

    The government was fine with Twitter censoring the Hunter Biden laptop
    story, but now that Twitter has a new owner and that
    laptop story can be discussed in detail, the government is very
    concerned.
