51% : " What distinguishes the anti-disinformation movement from previous forms of liberal information governance, Pinkoski wrote last year, "is the claim that the advent of the internet requires a change in the rules.
49% : Writing in the socially conservative Compact magazine after last year's Romanian elections, columnist Nathan Pinkoski argued that their annulment was "a direct application of the anti-disinformation paradigm that politicians and technocrats have promoted for years." "When the Romanian Constitutional Court cancelled presidential elections on the basis of a vague intelligence assessment, barely any public justification was provided for this extraordinary action," Pinkoski told DFD today.
40% : To them, the silencing of Georgescu's voters is vindication of their long-held belief that a secretive, octopus-like network of tech industry and liberal nonprofit interests are silencing conservative voices -- and that now, with Trump and Musk in power, is the time to cut off its tentacles.
35% : Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) told NPR today that he's still waiting for the tech titans who lined up behind Trump to "go out and say now that they're going to stop their censorship against conservatives."
