Prohibit intelligence agencies from monitoring domestic disinformation
What the document says“The IC should be prohibited from monitoring so-called domestic disinformation.”
The chapter argues that such activity can slip into suppressing an opposition party's speech, is corrosive of First Amendment protections, and raises questions about impartiality when the agencies choose not to act. It names no instrument for the prohibition.
What the document actually says“The IC should be prohibited from monitoring so-called domestic disinformation.”
These agencies should not be allowed to watch false claims made at home.
Some agencies track false claims spread online. The book says they should not watch ones made inside the country. It says that could silence people.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
