Throwaway account because this is an honest question. Why did the researcher have to look like that? It makes the person an easy target for further disinformation. I could post that the person hates white males and people would believe it without question, even though I have no basis for that statement. Facebook and Harvard got lucky that this person was a non-obstacle to removal by appearing so uncharismatic. It is a near certainty that most of you who opened the link formed your opinion of the matter shortly after looking at the picture of the propaganda researcher in question. I almost wonder if this is some sort of advanced test, since I have never heard of this researcher. For whatever reason though this is a controversial element, even though a change in the person's appearance would make a greater impact to their career than anything else. If it were okay to discuss, someone would have told the person by now. On a lighter note, propaganda research is not a new field at all, even if it is being rebranded as disinformation studies. Noam Chomsky comes to mind.
