The Hound 9/19

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today we’re talking about the “censorship by proxy” of the Kimmel suspension, DHS’ subpoena of Instagram to unmask ICE identifiers — raising serious privacy concerns, and more.

We’re also tracking how MAHA media has been sowing distrust and confusion around vaccines. This reckless coverage endangers public health by fueling fear and weakening trust in lifesaving medicine.

🖊️ Add your name to demand that news outlets reject vaccine misinformation and instead provide accurate, contextual reporting that protects our communities.
