This week I spoke to @nprfreshair about this silencing effect in depth. https://t.co/HigPYkJDNH (5/) — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

This is, of course, because the ultimate goal of online abuse and threats is to silence those on the receiving end. In blocking abusers and those who inspire abuse, I’m reclaiming my online space, and this makes the people who wish to silence me angry. (4/) — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

Now, after a full month of abuse and threats, I’m doing things like turning off replies, as well as blocking both those who incite abuse and abusers themselves, and being criticized for that too. (3/) — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

In my work on online abuse, I’ve been ridiculed for advocating for better enforcement of terms against abusers. “Just use the block button!” people say. (2/) — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

No, I’d just prefer not to read death threats and abuse in response to my tweet about murdered children. (1/) https://t.co/DlM9WObYMv — PolitiTweet.org

If not for the care my dad received at VA hospitals we probably would have lost him sooner. It wasn't easy to access those benefits at the time; I hope that all the veterans in similar situations will soon have an easier path to get the support & care they deserve. Miss you, dad. — PolitiTweet.org

As we head into #MemorialDayWeekend, I'm very happy to see this much needed bipartisan agreement to expand toxic exposure coverage for veterans. My dad died battling Multiple Myeloma; he contracted it as a result of exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. https://t.co/Wax1j5TRsJ https://t.co/k2KrRPK4yw — PolitiTweet.org

@inHereChrissyWK @JerylBier You would too if you’d gotten 3+ weeks of death threats. Hope you never have to, though. — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

@JerylBier I spoke about how I wished the rollout went entirely differently here (more substance in the text than audio): https://t.co/3dKMbvdhKi — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

@Timcast Thanks for the invitation, Tim. I'm at my capacity for media at the moment (baby due any day) but maybe at some point in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

@Timcast I'd encourage you to read the paper I'm referencing which is entirely focused on hostile state disinformation. https://t.co/77c0mFp1Dy — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

@neontaster @JerylBier Noam, I'm happy to discuss this in good faith in a venue that actually promotes nuance. (And fwiw, you've got it backwards- deliberate disinformation about the board led to mockery and death threats against me and my family. Still going on, btw.) Have a good one. — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

@neontaster @JerylBier Nope, it doesn't- Take a look at the recent work to prebunk Russian narratives about Ukraine. It focused on raising awareness of the falsities coming out of the Kremlin so Americans wouldn't buy into them. It worked. No "combating" domestic sources anywhere in the mix. — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

@JerylBier The latter. https://t.co/gKhOCF7zRO — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

@neontaster @JerylBier The thread you're citing—which you've removed the initial context to—is in reference to a paper about *hostile state disinfo.* You can disagree w/ my assessment that it affects domestic politics/discourse, but the strategy described in the paper is the work I'm referring to. — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowicz @wiczipedia

This is the type of work I had hoped to do at DHS, and the type of work the USG sorely needs to invest in. This is the type of work that I have built my career on—not a few contextless tweets. And this is the type of work I will continue in the public sphere. (4/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Since this piece was published in summer 2020, the spread and effects of disinformation on American society have only worsened and become entrenched in domestic politics (as the last few weeks of my life have shown). (3/) — PolitiTweet.org

-Capability: ensuring civil servants can recognize and know how to respond to hostile state disinfo. -Coordination: fostering connections w/in depts and across gov't to mount synced up responses -Cooperation: working with allies, academia, civil society to address threat (2/) — PolitiTweet.org

Thinking a lot the past few weeks about the paper I co-authored in the US Army War College Quarterly in 2020: https://t.co/A5PdjSUOrU It lays out a government strategy for dealing with disinformation based on 3 Cs- capability, coordination, and cooperation. (1/) — PolitiTweet.org
