The board’s executive director, Nina Jankowicz, was offered the opportunity to stay on with DHS.


WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – The Biden administration’s recently-announced Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) will not be moving forward following a torrent of public scrutiny over the board’s potential ramifications for free speech.

Operating under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the DGB was to be tasked with countering so-called “misinformation” on topics relating to homeland security, including migration and Russia.

Not surprising, because it's a completely possible slippery slope. As I learned the hard way recently (Ps. 146), if the system won't hold itself accountable, then people have a right to protest and request reforms, preferably in a Christ-like manner. Otherwise, lose political support from voters, international allies, and/or foreign investors. Good business is built on trust (Luke 16:1-15). Likewise, democratically elected leaders wishing to remain in power need to know and respect their 'customers.' We are people, not NPC's in a video game.
