DHS outsourced misinfo policing to 'avoid appearance of propaganda': House Judiciary GOP report

cross-posted from: https://exploding-heads.com/post/155028

The subcommittee discussed circumventing the First Amendment by outsourcing these activities to third parties, which would also "avoid the appearance of government propaganda,"

Suzanne Spaulding, a former CIA legal advisor who's currently at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Geoff Hale, who leads CISA’s Election Security Initiative, "suggested designating the ISACs as the clearing house [sic] for information to avoid the appearance of government propaganda," the meeting notes say. The report characterized this as "laundering" the government's messages through EI-ISAC.
