Biden administration says disinfo board about foreign threats, not censorship

The Biden administration is insisting that its controversial Disinformation Governance Board will protect the country from outside threats and won’t impinge on people’s civil liberties amid criticism that the initiative could prompt increased government censorship.

President Joe Biden’s press secretary defended the Orwellian-sounding board Monday, attempting to position it as a nonpartisan coordinating body for the Department of Homeland Security’s work responding to disinformation.
