That was a short lived job. She must have seen the writing on the wall. This disinformation commission was doomed from the start. The commission is now on pause. I think they are rethinking the constitutionality of it.

I think they are rethinking the constitutionality of it. However, we are still stuck with your disinformation cult king leading us down the path to anti-democratic fascism. Now THAT’S something for you to really be concerned with Rip. Instead you start these goofy threads of inanity. C’mon bro, up your game! Let’s get real!

I'm now more concerned about the gov't plan, if any, for the current inflation and my retirement portfolio than whatever Trump says. I profited greatly under Trump but now I'm down 20% and don't see any recovery in the near future.

Well your thread already had two fictional literary characters, you and Mary Poppins. So I added a third character to keep your fictional story going with more fictional people. If Mary Poppins has a real name you should have used it plus added a link to the article where you got the information you posted. You failed to do both.

You failed to do both. exactly. this position was created while I was on vacation, I'd never heard of it til I googled her name. 🤷♀️. but I guess trolls are going to troll, right?

I think they are rethinking the constitutionality of it. Given libel and slander laws exist, I don't think constitutionality is the issue. Maybe the clue is in the article below. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/disinformation-boards-leader-faced-wave-online-abuse-84851287Conservative pundits, Twitter users and TV show hosts delivered a relentless campaign full of sexist attacks and misleading statements against Jankowicz. A Fox News personality questioned whether Jankowicz should have agreed to lead the board while pregnant. One far-right extremist called her “mentally ill” and a “nasty ... Jew,” on his podcast; Jankowicz is not Jewish. Last week several conservative news sites circulated a misleading claim that Jankowicz was seeking powers to edit Twitter users’ posts directly.
“I was trying to do important work to protect Americans from a real threat,” Jankowicz said. But, instead, she was spending time reporting a steady wave of threats about herself. A United Nations report released earlier this year that studied Finland confirmed what many of those women already suspected: Female politicians, regardless of political affiliation, are subjected to 10 times more abusive messages on Twitter, including hate speech that sometimes suggested the women kill themselves. The online abuse, the U.N. concluded in its report, prevents democracies from being equally representative.

As a fan of creative expression, I thought the video was great. But it does not surprise me it is used to personally ridicule her.
Not being a fan of the commission, it does not sadden me it is being put on hold.
