For years, free speech advocates (including myself) have criticized the new rationalization for censorship in the cause of combating disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation. As discussed in my new book, The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage, there is a burgeoning cottage industry in academia in helping corporations and government agencies to target certain political, social, and scientific viewpoints. One of those centers is located at the Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy. Now, however, the faculty are accusing each other of misinformation over the departure of “misinformation and disinformation” expert Joan Donovan.
According to an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Donovan is in a spat with her former colleagues over the events and accusations leading up to her departure. She has released a 248-page document from December 2022 in which she alleged that Meta (formerly Facebook) was behind a campaign targeting her and her team, the Technology and Social Change Project. She alleged that her position was eliminated at the behest of�� Elliot Schrage, a former Facebook executive and Harvard alumnus, as well as other Meta executives.
Donovan cites a Zoom call in October 2021 in which she alleges that Schrage dominated the discussion and accused her of inaccurately reading documents related to Facebook. However, a recording of the meeting shows that Schrage spoke for only three minutes and that the Facebook files were never discussed.
Facebook was long accused of a massive censorship program but, unlike Twitter, never voluntarily released its files for public scrutiny.
Now various Harvard staff and former staff are accusing Donovan of spreading misinformation or disinformation. They insist that Meta never exerted pressure on the group and accuse Donovan of lying in making such claims as Harvard owning the copyright to her book “Meme Wars.”
They also say that it is untrue that the university stole her plans to publish confidential Facebook documents. Latanya Sweeney, a professor who worked on the project, called Donovan’s version of events “gross mischaracterizations and misstatements.” Sweeny maintains that the vast majority of the work on the project was done by Sweeney and her team.
Fortunately, none of these adversaries will be banned or throttled on social media for alleged disinformation or misinformation. Free speech protects such disagreements and allows the truth to be established by open debate and discourse.

Dear, anonymous despicable, POS, a.k.a., Elvis, a.k.a., turd runner, a.k.a. big hands, you have convinced me, I’m not voting for Trump
Bwahajahaha
Still fretting about the inadequate size of your hands ???????????????????
Trump rally in Las Vegas today:
Trump’s exact words: “‘We need every voter. I don’t care about you. I just want your vote. I don’t care.”
He is saying the quiet part out loud. His dementia is kicking in.
Your dementia just kicked in.
Your TDS is kicking in.
Your not voting for Trump – everyone understands that.
Why is it that anyone who is voting for Trump should care about what YOU think there response to something YOU claim Trump said.
No one trusts you – we have been through far too many of these left wing hoaxes or out of context nonsense.
Nor have you ever show the slightest understanding of the views of anyone outside your own bubble.
Trump actually speaks extemporaniously for hours for every minute that Biden speaks fully scripted.
Yet we can find dozens of Biden Gaffes for every alleged Gaffe YOU find.
Most of your nonsense was very effectively addressed by reporter Salena Zito in 2016.
Trump supporters take Trump seriously but not literally.
The left takes Trump literally but not seriously.
People who are voting for Trump know why they are voting for Trump.
Trump is NOT going to forgive their student loans.
He is not going to bribe them with their own money.
What he is going to do is end the dysfunction brought by the failures of those of you on the left.
Level the playing field, and get government out of the way of ordinary people – because Trump correctly trusts ordinary people to do a far better job of making their own lives better that those of you on the left especially those in government.
Trump trusts people to run their own lives.
His voters trust him to allow them to.
Biden at a rally today in Las Vegas.
“ where is everybody?”
