You're close to dismissal yourself. I keep you around because about 1 in 50 posts has a nugget of truth.
This is not one of those.

“The Commission on Information Disorder is the latest (and most creepily named) addition to a new field of knowledge production that emerged during the Trump years at the juncture of media, academia, and policy research: Big Disinfo.
A kind of EPA for content, it seeks to expose the spread of various sorts of “toxicity” on social-media platforms, the downstream effects of this spread, and the platforms’ clumsy, dishonest, and half-hearted attempts to halt it. As an environmental cleanup project, it presumes a harm model of content consumption. Just as, say, smoking causes cancer, consuming bad information must cause changes in belief or behavior that are bad, by some standard. Otherwise, why care what people read and watch?”

So you seem to react too much to other posters if they differ from you. I prefer a live and let live sort of idea of life.
csf seems to have a burr in his/her saddle, and in general seems to want to take on people confrontationally. I don't that in either case.
I appreciate the mods in here. I don't think I've ever had an infraction. I had a personal discussion some years ago with Jason and it sort of seemed to be his idea that if I really don't like "progress" along the current trajectory maybe I should just leave. I have no delusions about the context of our times. I don't favor abandoning good sense or reason or good principles that generally make life better. I will always be trying to divert people like you from a wrong path. I don't intend to dictate my values. Any change a person may make needs to come from some internal choice personally.
Not big on agendas or bandwagons.
The fundamental reality is that progressive notions are somewhat unrealistic and the people pushing agendas do experience turnover. There is actually no final destiny for "progress". What is real is that people are always going to challenge any status quo and try to change things for something they think is better.
Probably the largest group of people who resist that fundamental reality are the cash cow exploiters of any political movement du jour. they may not care about a final destiny or ideal at all, and people who talk change from their teat are always an annoyance.
It is a given that I will try to engage any poster whom I think might appreciate a discussion.
You have agendas in spades. Re; making it more difficult to vote. Don't pretend you don't have an agenda, and don't act like you aren't sucking the change teat yourself. You ask for change, too, but only when you're interested in it.
This isn't about you. And I'm not proposing a scenario where only progressive ideas are allowed. I'm not entirely sure what I'm proposing, outside of a little intellectual honesty. We just aren't seeing that right now.
Welcome back.
A single disinformation czar just isn't realistic. But perhaps limiting sources for hot topic issues(re; COVID) to established data shouldn't be out of the question.
How do you challenge established data? Better data. And yeah.. it's that easy.

Extremely dangerous and a flat out fear based lie meant to cause fear and hate.
From his own tweet article
The situation has complicated medical care, but doesn't mean people are being turned away at the moment.
"Fortunately, right now, we aren't at a position where we're having to triage patients or send them on their own transportation to find a bed for themselves," Webb said. "We're not and don't expect to be in a position where we turn people away. If you need care, we still recommend that you go to the nearest hospital and we have full expectation that we will be able to provide good care there."

established data from the ESTABLISHMENT. established data = bought and paid for garbage from the bureaucrat orthodox doctors.
I want the right to vote and that right protected against every thread of fraud diluting my vote or dumping my vote in some dumpster. You are just wrong to mischaracterize that by maligning me or accusing me of any stupid bad motive. I think citizens are the eligible voters at the age of legal accountability as adults.
There is just no way we can rightly expand that pool. Maybe that can be debated.
If I can report anti-vaxx disinformation as being against the rules, I believe I can contain myself.

Lol you're going to have to provide proof which you never ever do. How many times have I pleaded with you to source your own lies?
Personally I think its cowardice to do this behind closed doors. If there is blatant misinformation post it here and provide proof. Let said other person prove their point too. Instead you guys are shrouded in secrecy. If you think there is misinformation man/woman up and prove it.
Thriller dangerously insinuated and lied that people can't get medical help and I called him out. Why are you guys so scared?

I used to, but you never changed what you were saying based on them, so why bother?
I will take you opinion with all the respect and consideration you have earned. Thank you for sharing it.
Engaging in debate can grant the perception there is legitimate debate.
This affects me, how?
