In a recent ruling, a Delaware judge dismissed Nina Jankowicz’s lawsuit against Fox News. The judge found that the alleged defamatory statements about Jankowicz—former head of the DHS disinformation board—were either focused on the board itself or were materially true. Jankowicz had claimed Fox falsely accused her of wanting to censor speech and edit tweets. This case has important implications for discussions on disinformation and social media censorship, touching on themes similar to the NCLA's Murthy v. Missouri case.
