Dr. Kate Starbird, a researcher who claims social media platforms have a moral and ethical obligation to suppress content supporting "right-wing populism," is leading the Department of Homeland Security's efforts to counter "misinformation and disinformation," internal documents reveal.
- Starbird also worked with the Election Integrity Partnership, which pushed platforms to censor conservative users and posts, even at the request of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
- She has repeatedly dismissed claims that the 2020 election was plagued with fraud, calling them "repeat spreaders."
- The DHS has come under scrutiny for assembling a system that allowed state actors including the DHS and State Department to flag news stories, subsequently allowing social media to either censor or attach prominent warning labels to the specified stories.
