Having watched a few of the sessions held by congress questioning social media CEOs and the like, I think this story is quite plausible.
In between the grandstanding some of the politicians asked such odd questions, I think an introduction to digital safety should be a requisite course for all public servants along side antidiscrimination and inclusivity.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is someone already in jail who has been charged and convicted to a similar action.
Here is a Canadian example of a similar event.

- TameAntelope 5y ago“Plausible” is exactly where misinformation and fake news thrives. It’s news if he’s actually charged, it’s much less news if a frustrated governor blows off steam about it. This is, so far, nothing more than the latter.
- watwut 5y agoFrustrated governor blows off steam is news, because that is literally governor harrassing journalists and abusing position.
- TameAntelope 5y agoYeah (less news isn’t not news), just not the news being reported in the title. And this isn’t harassment yet. This is just a statement, nothing has actually happened. If you want to see where this could go, check out the story of the data scientist who whistleblew on the Florida government hiding COVID deaths [0]. But none of that’s happened here, yet.
