Brian Murphy, a former FBI agent who once led the intelligence wing of the Department of Homeland Security, reflected last summer on the failures of the Disinformation Governance Board \u2013 the panel formed to actively police misinformation. The board, which was proposed in April 2022 after he left DHS, was quickly shelved by the Biden administration in a few short months in the face of criticism that it would be an Orwellian state-sponsored “Ministry of Truth.”<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0July podcast<\/a>, Murphy said the threat of state-sponsored disinformation meant the executive branch has an \u201cethical responsibility\u201d to rein in the social media companies. American citizens, he said, must give up “some of your freedoms that you need and deserve so that you get security back.”<\/p>\n

The legal problems and public backlash to the Disinformation Governance Board also demonstrated to him that “the government has a major role to play, but they cannot be out in front.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy, who made headlines late in the Trump administration for improperly building\u00a0dossiers<\/a>\u00a0on journalists, has spent the last few years trying to help the government find ways to suppress and censor speech it doesn\u2019t like without being so \u201cout in front\u201d that it runs afoul of the Constitution. He has proposed that law enforcement and intelligence agencies\u00a0formalize<\/a>\u00a0the process of sharing tips with private sector actors \u2013 a \u201chybrid constellation\u201d including the press, academia, researchers, non-partisan organizations, and social media companies \u2013 to dismantle \u201cmisinformation\u201d campaigns before they take hold.<\/p>\n

More recently, Murphy has worked to make his vision of countering misinformation a reality by joining a United Kingdom-based tech firm, Logically.AI, whose eponymous product identifies and removes content from social media. Since joining the firm, Murphy has met with military and other government officials in the U.S., many of whom have gone on to contract or pilot Logically\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n
