It isn't, but that doesn't matter in a banana republic.

These things are done in large part to gauge what sort of opposition will form to their schemes. From this, they decide when to scale back and wait and they decide how quickly they can start to overturn long-established traditions and precedents. Take the DHS Ministry of Truth board. DHS hired a demented birdbrain who advertises her one-woman misinformation/disinformation machine on social media weekly, and they had to pull back on it...temporarily. Honorable Liar Mayorkas himself testified before Congress that the board has not been liquidated, just "tabled." They will eventually come up with something in some form that will be given the same mission as it was originally given, but packaged differently. They have recognized their error and will place someone in a leadership role eventually who comes off as boring as vanilla.

They still have Facebook and Google/YouTube, both of which communicated dozens of times with federal officials about content moderation on their platforms.
