For those who will say TL/DR, the 16-page study basically finds that individuals who do top-notch scientific research, even credentialed experts, worthy of publication in prestigious scientific journals are purveyors of dangerous mis/disinformation and must be shouted down or censored. Not because they are wrong, but because the findings are "unorthodox" and differ from the consensus. Because critical thinking skills leads to independent thought and that is dangerous, best left to the experts who are in that consensus.
Now, we all know that a consensus of Marxists will have different findings than a consensus of Libertarians, so the invitation list to form that consensus is a pretty important part of the findings.
Read the report for yourself. As a "Skeptic" reading through it I found myself overcome by joy many times, the Sally Fields in me often jumped up and said, "They get me, they really, really get me!" Validated, so many compliments and findings that validated us, were virtues and things to aspire to...back when science was science and critical thinking skills were encouraged and developed, honed. Now declared dangerous. Needing to be censored. The world turned upside down type of stuff. Just read it. Then you'll know all you need to know about the mindset of those deigning to run our world and lives today. And their justifications for censoring us.
Gee, people like me can only aspire in vain to one day be described by the most corrupt, blatantly disinforming government regime ever, as "the epicenter of disinformation radiating outward to the persuadable public."
Andy Slavitt is a criminal, and he should be behind bars right now.
Anyone impacted by this unconstitutional crackdown on freedom of speech should join the Berenson v. Brandon lawsuit. I wholly support this effort!
I saw this data map when it was published and thus it confirmed my excellent choice in some of the very BEST Substack writers.
LOL, I just used that visualization to subscribe to you. Thanks MIT!
One small correction: el gato - all lowercase. 😉 Cats are finicky for details.
That MIT study was the outgrowth of another infamous MIT study- by the exact same researchers:

Slavitt is such a little bitch

"Did Andy Slavitt use the MIT visual to create a black list of Social Media accounts to be taken down?"
Yes.
Next question.
The media/gov’t/academia/big tech complex needs to come apart. Fuckers.
sounds like censorship of “unapproved opinions” on social media is only getting started if WEF gets their wish:

Interesting. Just ran across this about a UCLA engineering professor looking at "how to root out the origins of conspiracy theory using artificial intelligence to 'read' through millions and millions of social media posts." https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/technology/2020/12/24/artificial-intelligence-separates-conspiracy-theory-from-conspiracy-fact?
