Nina Jankowicz was horrified at the idea of the Executive Branch (Trump) having any say in what is true or false.<\/p>\n<p>She uses Poland&#8217;s &#8220;Ministry of Digitalization&#8221; as an example of &#8220;anti-democratic online governance&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>She also admits to being funded by Facebook. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5XoptnuMpJ\">pic.twitter.com\/5XoptnuMpJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Maze (@mazemoore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mazemoore\/status\/1520077639918264321?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 29, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cImagine that, you know, with President Trump right now calling all of these news organizations that have \u2014 inconvenient for him \u2014 stories that they\u2019re getting out there, that he\u2019s calling \u2018fake news,\u2019 and now lashing out at platforms,\u201d Jankowicz said. \u201cI would never want to see our executive branch have that sort of power, and that\u2019s why, you know, the legislative process, with our duly elected officials is really important. That sort of consultative rule-making process. We can\u2019t just govern by executive order anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the planned Disinformation Governance Board \u2014 which Jankowicz is expected to head \u2014 gives the executive branch that exact power. It falls under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security, the head of which reports directly to the president.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) was among those who <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/dissolve-this-monstrosity-immediately-josh-hawley-unloads-on-mayorkas-in-letter-demanding-the-end-of-disinformation-board\/\">raised the alarm<\/a> \u2014 about the board in general, but about Jankowicz specifically as well \u2014 in a letter directed to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI write with deep concern about the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s decision to create a new Disinformation Governance Board. I confess, I at first thought this announcement was satire. Surely no American Administration would ever use the power of Government to sit in judgment on the First Amendment speech of its own citizens,\u201d Hawley\u2019s letter began. \u201cSadly, I was mistaken. Rather than protecting our border or the American Homeland, you have chosen to make policing Americans\u2019 speech your priority. This new board is almost certainly unconstitutional and should be dissolved immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hawley went on to say that Jankowicz, because of her <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/bidens-disinfo-czar-mocked-over-viral-musical-video\/\">prior statements<\/a> about Trump politically charged comments about billionaire Elon Musk\u2019s recent acquisition of Twitter, was a particularly questionable choice to lead the board.<\/p>\n<p><i>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. We believe in our country, in the value of truth and the freedom to speak it, and in the right to challenge tyranny wherever we see it.
