"Biden's Former Disinfo Czar Challenges Judge's Social Media Order"

A Louisiana court ruling that the Biden administration likely violated the First Amendment by pressuring social media platforms to suppress certain views has raised concerns about the government's ability to combat disinformation and conspiracy theories ahead of the 2024 election. Nina Jankowicz, a former disinformation expert tapped by President Biden to run a Disinformation Governance Board, believes the ruling will have a chilling effect on anti-disinformation efforts and warns that the administration needs to make disinformation a top cross-government priority. Jankowicz argues that the administration has not adequately defended against disinformation and needs to confront the threat more directly.
