That’s an interesting resource:

> In an interview with CNN in April 2024, American Sunlight Project executive director Nina Jankowicz claimed that investigations into so-called disinformation researchers make the U.S. less safe. 14 Shortly after the organization was launched in April 2024, Jankowicz sent a letter to U.S. Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH), James Comer (R-KY), and Dan Bishop (R-NC) claiming that they have “done little to improve the health of our information environment” since the 2016 presidential election. 15 16 The group also alleged that they intimidated disinformation researchers through the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government 2 and that Jordan, Comer, and Bishop’s actions have led to federal agencies doing less to censor online speech in the name of disinformation. 17

Ah yes, the answer to bad -think is to censor it using the federal government.
