Republicans slam DHS' ongoing crackdown on 'disinformation' after disbanding controversial governance board
Fox News
Republicans are accusing the Department of Homeland Security of colluding with Big Tech amid newly published documents showing expanded crackdown on "disinformation."
According to a draft copy of its Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, the DHS’ capstone strategy document, the agency intends to target disinformation on topics such as "the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine," The Intercept reported.

The document also reportedly confirms that tackling disinformation and misinformation spread online by "domestic violent extremists" is becoming one of the DHS’ top priorities behind counterterrorism.
