#Academics, #universities & #GovernmentAgencies are overhauling or ending #research programs designed to counter the spread of #online #misinformation amid a #legal campaign from #conservative politicians & activists who accuse them of colluding w/ #tech companies to #censor #RightWing views.
The escalating campaign — led by #JimJordan & other #Republicans in #Congress & state gov — has cast a pall over programs that study not just #political falsehoods but also quality of #medical info online.
