By a similar token, I suspect that the real reason that the "Disinformation Governance Board" was scrapped earlier this year was because it made more sense to outsource the job to Big Tech, thereby insulating this work from pesky FOIA suits, civil rights claims and undesired electoral results.
Not sure if Disinfo Board was scrapped - I think they blamed the explosion of opposition on partisan politics, a poor rollout, and public paranoia and misconceptions.
I suspect the disinfo board was a feint, a fake thing to claim that they were trying to control us but failed ! Social media already has a strong grasp on the public opinion about everything, the disinof board was unnecessary from the start. The only reason I can see for its existence and sloppy launch was to make a publicity splash to claim that the Ministry of Truth doesn't exist.
The Ministry of Truth does exist, has existed and has always existed.

I wondered the same thing, at least when that flaky-ass Mary Poppins video came out.
I thought I read today that it was formally scrapped. Doesn't matter, it's going nowhere.
They said the torture and black sites programs were scrapped too. They lied.
In this case, however, there is no need to lie. They just outsourced the job.
It was already being done.. they don't need a dept with a scary name when it was also redundant
Agree but suggest "it's going nowhere" should read "it's superfluous".
