Good riddance, but you can bet that it will be replaced with something equally as noxious. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
After it was exposed as a quasi-government “disinformation” academic research center, and several lawsuits later, the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO) is being shuttered after founding director Alex Stamos left his position in November, and research director Renee DiResta left last week after her contract was not renewed.
SIO notably led a project initiated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) called the virality project, which sought to censor those who questioned government Covid-19 policies. The Virality Project primarily focused on so-called “anti-vaccine” “misinformation,” and pushed social media platforms to censor “true stories,” according to journalist Andrew Lowenthal, who added that the censorship was “often done incompetently and without even a cursory investigation of the original sources.”
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
They said it was closing?
I’m sure it’s true as it was issued from MiniTRU!
A STASI HQ at Marxist EDU, how convenient.
And lots of stupid college punk/punkettes to volunteer too much information.
Are the fusion centers still open?
Relocated and what happened to the “historic” Pat (?) disinformation czar/czarette or whatever that thing was?
They went to a different fusion center.
Ahh…a spirit of mockery for a fourth world turd fake and GAE third rate CCCP-LARP.
Note to my glowy bot, do you like the why did Hitler steal all the Gnutella, where is the gilded who-haa questions.
