bonus: katie couric, who helpfully concealed Ruth Nader ginsberg's opinion on the national anthem kneelers, is also on the panel.
Quote:
The Twitter executive responsible for blocking stories about Hunter Biden's laptop is one of several advisers to the Aspen Institute's disinformation commission.
Yoel Roth is one of several questionable advisers to Aspen's Commission on Information Disorder, which on Monday released its much-anticipated report. Commission members include Katie Couric, who recently acknowledged that she edited comments on National Anthem protests out of a 2016 interview with Ruth Bader Ginsburg to preserve the justice's reputation with liberals. Another commissioner, Rashad Robinson, helped fuel actor Jussie Smollett's hate crime hoax.
Oh, Katie Couric you say? Such an impeccable journalist of unquestionable integrity! Why, I would never - ever assume she wasn't telling the absolute truth.
What a joke our Media has become. And it's only getting worse.

To the rubbish bin of History with all of them.
katie and the twitter dude would never mislead us, they only want what's best for us!
just look how they shielded us from the 'mis-/disinformation' straight out of RGB's own mouth, and hunter's laptop..

And of course Biden's underlings are involved...
Having a camera shoved up your butt on national TV does not qualify her to be on ANY panel.
If you want to get a tone of where these people are, I will quote the statements that they highlight in big text.
To be clear, information disorder is a problem that cannot be completely solved. Its eradication is not the end goal. Instead, the Commission’s goal is to mitigate misinformation’s worst harms with prioritization for the most vulnerable segments of our society.
While the Commission acknowledges both mis and disinformation cause harm in many areas, its recommendations place special emphasis on a set of narrower categories of misinformation harms from empirically grounded domains . . . which can be evaluated for information quality and accuracy by professional bodies with established standards and domain expertise.
“Saying that the disinformation is the problem— rather than a way in which the underlying problem shows itself—misses the point entirely.”
Currently, the U.S. lacks any strategic approach and clear leadership in either the public or the private sector to address information disorder. The federal government has been ill-equipped and outpaced by new technologies and the information ecosystems that take shape around them.
One of the most challenging aspects of addressing information disorder is confronting the reality that “disinformation” and information campaigns by bad actors don’t magically create bigotry, misogyny, racism, or intolerance—instead, such efforts are often about giving readers and consumers permission to believe things they were already predisposed to believe.
This above is one of the more spookier statements. Giving readers PERMISSION to believe…
NewsGuard reported that over 1,000 brands ran approximately 8,776 unique ads on 160 sites with election misinformation from October 1, 2020 through January 12, 2021.
An “everyone’s responsible” stance does not absolve tech companies—from social media platforms to search engines to digital messaging services—of the sins of its various products and services.
“Ideally, a set of standards would apply across platforms to address how digital information is stored, how to preserve a digital chain of custody, who can access the information, a credentialing process for those wanting access, and what safeguards should be in place to prevent potential abuse of data.”
Congress should require all social media platforms to regularly publish the content, source account, and reach data for posts that they organically deliver to large audiences.
Congress should require all social media platforms to disclose information about their content moderation policies and practices, and to produce a time-limited archive of moderated content, in a standardized format that will be available to authorized researchers.
Congress should mandate that social media companies regularly disclose, in a standardized format, key information about every digital ad and paid post that runs on their platforms. Paid posts, including political advertising, can be a powerful vector for misinformation—often insulated from scrutiny and correction thanks to techniques targeting small communities.
Commissioners endorse efforts that focus on exposing how historical and current imbalances of power, access, and equity are manufactured and propagated further with mis- and disinformation—and on promoting community-led solutions to forging social bonds that can resist it.
Develop and scale communication tools, networks, and platforms that are designed to bridge divides, build empathy, and strengthen trust among communities.
Increase investment and transparency to further diversity at social media platform companies and news media as a means to mitigate misinformation arising from uninformed and disconnected centers of power.
Promote substantial, long-term investment in local journalism that informs and empowers citizens, especially in underserved and marginalized communities who are most likely to be harmed by, or are most vulnerable to, mis- or disinformation.
These two paragraphs mention “investment”. That means they will be subsidizing social media, news media, and local journalism in order to control the narrative. Very China-like…
Call on community, corporate, professional, and political leaders to promote new norms that create personal and professional consequences within their communities and networks for individuals who willfully violate the public trust and use their privilege to harm the public.
Improve U.S. election security and restore voter confidence with improved education, transparency, and resiliency. This will include proactive outreach communications, updated educational content, and greater transparency and resiliency around elections, election infrastructure, and audits as a means to counter false narratives.
They want to control information released about candidates for an election.
The Administration should establish a comprehensive strategic approach to countering disinformation and the spread of misinformation, including a centralized national response strategy, defining roles and responsibilities across the Executive Branch, and identifying gaps in authorities and capabilities.
Establish an independent organization, with a mandate to develop systemic misinformation countermeasures through education, research, and investment in local institutions.
This independent organization will reflect the ethics and values that are similar to the people authoring this document.
Major online platforms should provide investment and innovation in online education and platform product features to increase users’ awareness and resilience to online misinformation.
Online platforms should hold superspreaders of mis and disinformation to account with clear, transparent, and consistently applied policies that enable quicker, more decisive actions and penalties, commensurate with their impacts—regardless of location, political views, or role in society.
This recommendation contains two separate proposals to amend Section 230. First, withdraw platform immunity for content that is promoted through paid advertising and post promotion. Second, remove immunity as it relates to the implementation of product features, recommendation engines, and design.
Like they are doing with COVID, it looks like they will use peer pressure and private companies to enforce a certain pre-determined stream of narratives. While implementing targeted funds to certain entities to promote their preferred narratives.
