Hi Nina, I just wanted to say, I appreciate your work and I am sorry for the abuse that you endured. Please keep up the fight, there are more people with you than against you. I am currently a PhD candidate and I am considering a similar subject for my thesis.

thank you for the eloquent and elegant essay above. While I'm a liberal and Democrat down to my mitochondrial DNA, and I too worry about losing 'American democracy as we know it' on a daily basis, I pose the following thought experiment. What if the injunction had been ordered against a second Trump administration? Perhaps I would have applauded some legal restraint in that case...

This is a fair point, to which I would say- we don't have any evidence that the Trump administration did anything wrong in this regard, and until we did, I would be just as worried about this injunction. In fact, under the Trump administration, the FBI and CISA, among other agencies, did a lot to tip off social media companies about foreign interference, etc. No matter who was in charge, the collateral damage here is our national security and our democratic infrastructure.

This writing is full disinformation, meant to deceive readers of the findings of legitimate journalists and decision of a judge weighing the merits of that evidence.

The federal government did in fact engage in censorship of true information pertaining to elections, pandemic data and treatments.

This is just more evidence that the disinformation board is meant to stop the flow of true information and replace it with false information that supports false narratives perpetrated by people such as the author.

Imagine the hubris in thinking attempts to control people is justified in a democratic society.

I assume you have evidence of this censorship? Because so far, there is nothing. In fact, the evidence shows the platforms tend to favor conservatives, since they are rather reluctant to take down content. More likely, it’s all more conservative conspiracy bs: the “deep state” (or the Jewish/liberals/communists/etc.) are shutting down free speech. I doubt this will held in court even under the most conservative of judges anymore than the “stolen election” lies did.
