"The Department of Homeland Security has reportedly suspended the Biden administration’s infamous Disinformation Governance Board indefinitely.
"Nina Jankowicz, the 33-year-old researcher and government official the Biden administration appointed to chair the board, has resigned, CNN reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
"The board is being “paused,” three weeks after the Biden administration announced its existence, sources told The Washington Post.
"The agency decided Monday to shut down the board. The following day, Jankowicz drafted her resignation letter, according to the newspaper.
"According to the sources, the DHS has also suspended focus groups tasked with working on mis-, dis-, and mal-information, pending review by the Homeland Security Advisory Council.
"Internet users, free-speech advocates and journalists hailed news of the board’s dissolution.
“ 'And that’s how you defeat oppression with free speech,” Foundation for Economic Education Brand Ambassador Hannah Cox wrote in a Wednesday tweet celebrating the board disbanding.
“ 'Man, I love when the good guys win one,” Cox wrote."
