Arrr, mateys! The Stanford Internet Observatory, a scallywag crew studying online falsehoods, be walkin' the plank! The rumour mill says they be closin' shop. The House Judiciary Committee be investigatin' their shenanigans with the University of Washington. Shiver me timbers! 'Tis a tale worth tellin'!
Arrr mateys, listen up! The Stanford Internet Observatory be walkin' the plank and closin' down, as reported in the media. This group of scallywags be studyin' online misinformation, but it looks like they be throwin' in the towel.In a report that came out in November, the House Judiciary Committee and its Weaponization Select Subcommittee found that these researchers from the partnership between the observatory and the University of Washington, the Election Integrity Partnership, be gettin' some unwanted attention from the government about censorin' Americans. It seems like they be causin' some trouble with their studyin' ways, arrr!
So there ye have it, me hearties. The Stanford Internet Observatory be sailin' off into the sunset, leavin' behind a wake of online misinformation and government investigations. But fear not, for there be plenty more shenanigans happenin' on the high seas of the internet. Keep yer eyes peeled and yer wits about ye, for the pirates of misinformation be always lurkin' around the corner. Arrr!
