Disinformation researcher says Meta helped push her from Harvard

  > Smith said Harvard Kennedy School's "longstanding policy" requires all research projects to be led by faculty members, and Donovan was staff, not faculty. "When the original faculty leader of the project left Harvard, the School tried for some time to identify another faculty member who had time and interest to lead the project. After that effort did not succeed, the project was given more than a year to wind down. Joan Donovan was not fired, and most members of the research team chose to remain at the School in new roles," Smith said. this is a vastly different story than the headlines suggest

  Ironic that the "disinformation expert" seems to be peddling disinformation herself. From what I've seen, the self-proclaimed disinformation discipline is nothing more than an attempt to cloak censorship advocacy in scientese language. There is no such thing as a "disinformation expert" and anyone calling themselves that is displaying an obscene level of hubris.
