Biden Disinformation Czar Demands Power To Edit Other People's Tweets

https://summit.news/2022/05/11/biden-disinformation-czar-demands-power-to-edit-other-peoples-tweets/

In a newly released video clip, Biden disinformation czar Nina
Jankowicz demands that “trustworthy verified people” like her be given
the power to edit other people’s tweets, making Twitter more like
Wikipedia.

Yes, really.

Asserting that she was “eligible for it because I’m verified,”
Jankowicz then bemoaned the fact there are people on Twitter with
different opinions to her who also have the blue tick but “shouldn’t
be verified” because they’re “not trustworthy.”

“So verified people can essentially start to edit Twitter the same
sort of way that Wikipedia is so they can add context to certain
tweets,” said Jankowicz.

She then provided the example, which she claimed was non-political, of
President Trump tweeting about voter fraud.

“Someone could add context from one of the 60 lawsuits that went
through the court or something that an election official in one of the
states said, perhaps your own Secretary of State and his news
conferences, something like that,” said Jankowicz.

“Adding context so that people have a fuller picture rather than just
an individual claim on a tweet,” she added.

Of course, Twitter already slaps warning labels on such tweets, but
now Jankowicz wants approved regime propagandists to be empowered to
insert their narrative on an individual basis.

Also note how two of the other participants in the conversation were
wearing face masks, despite it being a remote Zoom call.

As we previously highlighted, Jankowicz was handed the role of
overseeing Biden’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ despite revealing that free
speech makes her “shudder” while also promoting the lie that the
Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation.

Jankowicz also ludicrously cited Christopher Steele as an expert on
disinformation. Steele was the author of the infamous Clinton
campaign-funded Trump ‘peegate’ dossier’ that turned out to be an
actual product of disinformation.

But yeah, a person with a proven track record of pushing
disinformation and hyper-partisanship should totally be given the
power to edit tweets she disagrees with.
