The Biden admin has no firm plan to call out domestic disinformation in the 2024 election
Experts expect a flood of disinformation and deepfakes, but federal officials feel limited in what they can do. “The FBI is not in the truth detection business,” one official said.
It's amazing how only one side doesn't want to appear partisan, while the other one is openly talking about jailing opponents, dissidents and the media..
..and we're still getting "both sides" bullshit.

Which side is which again? Your boy has the power of pardon and hasn't even so much as broken wind over this case-- so it CAN'T only be laid at the feet of Georgia's Republicans; couple that with his pushing the concept of a "Cop City" in every state, I take that to mean he considers us opponents too.
And we're getting locked up for longer than anyone but like three people caught up in the Jan. 6th trials. Since you ain't got a response for me, lemme post my conclusion: one side is only talking about locking up their opponents. THE DEMOCRATS ACTUALLY DO IT.
Well they better figure it out soon! The disinformation is through the roof on social media.
The latest right wing conspiracy theory is that Biden isn't Biden and the CIA is using "CIA mask technology" on somebody for Biden's public appearances. I shit you not. Boomers lead in the paint brains.
They can't. It would immediately run afoul of 1st amendment court challenges on top of appearing partisan, making them look bad on top of probably getting struck down.
We can't escape the 1st amendment protecting the right to lie, outside of a handful of exceptions. The current SC is unlikely to side with us to acknowledge another exception in the current climate, with conservatives outnumbering us 6-3.
This one cannot be tackled by the government, we have to beat it grassroots and private sector. There are no other realistic options that I've heard floated anywhere.
I shit you not. Boomers lead in the paint brains.
i bet it was lead in the gas
Democrats are actively trying to lose
Always have been.
"Pointing out Republican disinformation would bring attention to Democrat disinformation and democrats will take a Republican over giving ground to the left ANY day."
“The FBI is not in the truth detection business,”
Of course they're not, they're in the drug-planting, slave-catching, and extrajudicial-murdering business; they're pigs!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“I’m worried that you may be overly concerned with appearing partisan and that that will freeze you in terms of taking the actions that are necessary,” Sen. Angus King, a Maine independent who caucuses with the Democrats, told cybersecurity and intelligence officials at a hearing last month.
In interagency meetings about the issue, the official said, it’s clear that the Biden administration does not have a specific plan for how to deal with domestic election disinformation, whether it’s a deepfake impersonating a candidate or a false report about violence or voting locations being closed that could dissuade people from going to the polls.
At a recent meeting with tech executives and nonpartisan watchdog groups, a senior federal official in cybersecurity acknowledged that fake videos or audio clips generated by AI posed a potential risk in an election year.
Early in President Joe Biden’s term, the administration sought to tackle the danger presented by false information circulating on social media, with DHS setting up a disinformation working group led by an expert from a nonpartisan Washington think tank.
Stanford University’s Internet Observatory, which had produced influential research on how false information moved through social media platforms during elections, recently laid off most of its staff after a spate of legal challenges and political criticism.
Two days before New Hampshire’s presidential primary in January, the state attorney general’s office put out a statement warning the public about AI-produced robocalls using fake audio clips that sounded like Biden telling voters not to go to the polls.
The original article contains 1,807 words, the summary contains 251 words. Saved 86%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Then the Biden admin is going to lose.
WHEN machiavellian force is being applied to knife civil-rights,
THEN you fight for your life, before it's too-late for you to have the right to one.
Self-defense isn't only a right: it's an obligation of those who are responsible.

Of course they need disinformation to get elected
Sounds like this side wants to do some disinformation of its own
Might consider it, if it'd actually help. We know what a "race to the bottom" is though, and that you can become the thing you hate if you aren't careful. It sucks being loyal to responsible methods and long-term health sometimes.
