New Kamala Harris Task Force Looks A Lot Like The Disinformation Governance Board

Vice President Kamala Harris announced the launch of a new White House task force on Thursday, aimed at addressing “online harassment and abuse” — and critics have raised concerns that in practice, it could be the Disinformation Governance Board under another name.

The task force, according to Thursday’s announcement, plans to address all online harassment and disinformation but will also focus specifically on the disproportionate online harassment faced by women and girls and people within the LGBTQ community

The White House issued a press release detailing the task force’s creation and a number of its objectives going forward.

“Today, President Biden will sign a Presidential Memorandum establishing the White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse, responding to the need for government leadership to address online harms, which disproportionately affect women, girls, people of color, and LGBTQI+ individuals,” the press release stated, going on to note that the task force would include Attorney General Merrick Garland and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, among others.

The task force’s primary goal will be to “produce recommendations for the Federal government, state governments, technology platforms, schools, and other public and private entities to prevent and address technology-facilitated gender-based violence, including a focus on the nexus between online misogyny and radicalization to violence.”

They are looking for the nexus between misogyny and extremism? I’m pretty certain it can be found when you shift from tolerance to forced acceptance; all the while berating certain groups closely held beliefs. And it’s not extremism…..it’s called defending your own values.
