US populace would also need jail broken phones as soon as the new DHS "Disinformation Governance Board"[1] starts blocking at platform/DNS/ISP level.

Should have just gone with Ministry of Truth. Why try to hide it.

I was always a fan of the name House Un-American Activities Committee; which is the committee where they did un-american things. Truth in advertising.

You have to be careful with long winded, accurately descriptive labels. They become acronyms and lose their meaning and irony.

Come on, your link provides no evidence that this Board would (or even could) block any internet traffic. Don't spread FUD.

Sure, they just want to govern 'misinformation' but surely they don't mean to censor anything. Sure... Why would you even dream of giving the DHS the benefit of the doubt?

It always relieves me to know that while foreign regimes censor news, western regimes only censor misinformation. Glad we've kept the moral high ground.
