In her book on pandemic planning, “Ending the Cycle of Crisis and Complacency in U.S. Global Health Security,” Ayotte supports state censorship of social media. This book was written before the pandemic!
You can look for yourself. She mentions “disinformation” seven times, promoting the need for state censorship.
“…the credibility of the scientific and medical communities is increasingly jeopardized, as misinformation and disinformation spreads rapidly across the expanding digital domain. This poses a new and urgent global health security challenge, one that the United States should lead in addressing through a concerted effort to reclaim digital and social media as a force for good.”
