Barbara McQuade and I don’t have much in common, other than both having written books about disinformation and being women.

I have been a recurring target of the forum’s users, who appear to have bought into the lie that I had the intention or authority to censor my fellow Americans when I was appointed in 2022 to lead the short-lived Disinformation Governance Board, an internal coordination body at the Department of Homeland Security focused on addressing disinformation that harmed national security.
