Jankowicz was one of the prominent liberals who appeared to believe that the device was Russian disinformation.<\/p>\n<p>While Russia has certainly been guilty of putting out disinformation around the globe, American intelligence officials have also labeled factual information \u2014 like Hunter Biden\u2019s \u201claptop from hell\u201d\u2014 as Russian propaganda as well. Even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/the-rest-of-the-country-is-starting-to-open-their-eyes-major-outlets-confirm-contents-of-hunters-laptop\">mainstream media now admits<\/a> that the contents of that laptop were real.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2021, Jankowicz <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wiczipedia\/status\/1371889543582990336?s=20&#038;t=igo9GF8zFLCBSqSwznkybw\">tweeted<\/a> that the intelligence community \u201chas a high degree of confidence that the Kremlin used proxies to push influence narratives, including misleading or unsubstantiated claims about President Biden, to US media, officials, and influencers, some close to President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA clear nod to the alleged Hunter laptop,\u201d she posited.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear what she was suggesting was misleading or unsubstantiated \u2014 with regard to the laptop \u2014 when she sent that tweet. Various media outlets at that time had not dug into the veracity of its contents. The media and Jankowicz, appeared to accept at face value the intelligence community\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/theyre-political-whores-william-barr-eviscerates-51-intel-officials-who-signed-letter-calling-hunter-biden-laptop-story-disinformation\">false report<\/a> that it was Russian disinformation. Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twitter-said-it-blocked-hunter-biden-stories-because-u-s-intelligence-shared-rumors-of-biden-hack\">also infamously blocked<\/a> the story from its site based on information from intelligence community members.<\/p>\n<p>Consider also that on November 16, 2020, former President Barack Obama <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/11\/16\/liberal-media-suggests-biden-should-take-aggressive-approach-to-censoring-conservative-media\/\">stated<\/a> that a \u201ccombination of government regulations and corporate practices\u201d was needed to control the internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no question that Democrats are gearing up to use their new power to apply far more pressure than ever on Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. to censor any views they deem \u2018threatening,\u2019\u201d journalist Glenn Greenwald\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1328457887757312003\">tweeted<\/a> at the time, The Daily Caller noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease look at what is going here,\u201d Greenwald added. \u201cDemocrats are defining whoever opposes them not as adversaries but as national security threats, fascist terrorists, etc. \u2014 all to justify blocking them from the internet using their influence with Silicon Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, in late April of this year, Obama announced that believed that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BarackObama\/status\/1517333877580197888?s=20&#038;t=igo9GF8zFLCBSqSwznkybw\">some democratic oversight<\/a>\u201d is needed on the internet to supposedly-protect democracies from disinformation. \u201cI believe we should use every tool at our disposal to secure our greatest gift \u2013 a government of, by, and for the people \u2013 for generations to come,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BarackObama\/status\/1517333885255790592?s=20&#038;t=igo9GF8zFLCBSqSwznkybw\">added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that in 2020, Twitter took extra efforts to censor any mention of Hunter\u2019s laptop story off its platform while citing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twitter-said-it-blocked-hunter-biden-stories-because-u-s-intelligence-shared-rumors-of-biden-hack\">national security concerns<\/a>, it is not unreasonable to assume that in the future, Biden\u2019s \u201cdisinformation governance board\u201d could \u201cuse every tool\u201d at the government\u2019s disposal by working with big tech censor future stories that they incorrectly deem to be a threat to American democracy.<\/p>\n<p>If the disinformation board is ever given actual teeth to enforce censorship to allegedly protect national security \u2014 or if companies willingly comply as Obama has called for to happen \u2014 Big Tech sites and our own federal government could prevent Americans from easing accurate stories that might affect how voters choose to cast their ballots.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
