I can't believe they actually named it the "Disinformation Governance Board". Sounds like something SNL would cook up as a parody.
Even WaPo writers say its badly named.

Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.

Take it from an expert, you can take any number of mean words, slanders, or disinformation used against you.
It's called having a thick skin.
My personal measure of maturity is in how one handles a personal insult. Lot of leaders with more ego then maturity out there unfortunately.

Not to say people should just take insults with a smile either. But I just remember the kind of person who, if they asked for a favor and you said no, they'd appeal to your humanity and make you want to do that favor.
Not just yell at you in frustration, because you're not doing what they want.
And i use this example because I actually witnessed a father shaming his daughter about not eating her vegetables. Told her words like "I thought you were smart enough to behave. I guess I was wrong." She looked 8.
That guy could be managing other people, and he can't even treat his own daughter with respect. Ned Price treated AP reporter Matt Lee just like that man treated his daughter.
How this relates to Twitter and the Disinformation Board, is that the conversation feels like short fused assholes arguing with other short fused assholes. They don't understand how to handle criticism, they don't understand diplomacy, all they know it the stick and not the carrot.
That's how empires fall, my friend. Rome fell by in fighting.

Some double digit K people on Twitter are trolls? Well no shit!
A war on trolling has about as much of a chance of stopping trolling as the war on drugs did on stopping drugs. Good to see our government is consistent in picking their battles.

If Musk wants to lesson trolling on Twitter, best thing to do is make it so only verified people/accounts can post. That will keep a lot of the garden variety trolls away who rely on being able to say shit and face zero backlash.
Which Musk mentioned he wanted to do, the verified accounts.
Trumps skin is so thin, it's transparent. That isn't orange skin, that's just what it looks like when you can see someones organs.

Twitter has sued Elon Musk to compel him to buy the social media company for $44 billion - a deal the world's richest person said last week he was calling off.
The lawsuit, filed in Delaware's Court of Chancery on Tuesday, accuses Musk of hypocrisy and bad faith in his dealings with Twitter. It sets Twitter and Musk up for a lengthy, expensive and high-stakes battle in which a once-reluctant seller will try to force the hand of a now unwilling buyer. -snip
The Musk fanboys went full 'Rrrreeeeeee!' when Musk announced he was no longer interested in buying "saving" Twitter, now the fool's being sued.
