Disinfo Board Redux: Former Google ‘Disinformation’ Expert Given Top White House Cyber Role

The White House’s Office of the National Cyber Director has a new Deputy National Cyber Director: Camille Stewart Gloster, a former Google executive who specialized in removing “disinformation” from the tech giant’s app store, and in her spare time rants about “systemic racism” in America.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) accused the Biden administration of appointing a leftist “social justice warrior” to run the cyber office.

Gloster is a prime example of the extensively documented revolving door between Google and Democrat administrations. Prior to working for the tech giant, she was Senior Policy Advisor for Cyber, Infrastructure & Resilience Policy at the Department of Homeland Security under President Obama.

At Google, she was Head of Security Policy for Google Play and Android at Google, where she led “security, privacy, election integrity, and dis/mis-information.”

“Disinformation” and “misinformation” are terms used by tech and media elites as a pretext to suppress information they dislike. One such example is the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was baselessly condemned at the time of its publication as potential “Russian disinformation.”

“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home — all the more powerful because forbidden — terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

― Winston S. Churchill, Blood, Sweat and Tears

The hiring of a “misinformation” expert to fill this role
falls in line with the Biden Administration’s trend of using
the national security state for domestic political goals,
the most prominent example being the Department of Homeland
Security’s “disinformation governance board.”

Gloster has already stated that the ppartisan notion of
“systemic racism” should be a concern of the U.S. national security apparatus.

In her tweets, Gloster has demonstrated her ability to tie far-left causes like “systemic racism” to the seemingly unrelated topic of cybersecurity.

“Systemic racism is a cybersecurity threat,” wrote Gloster in 2020, quoting an article from the Council on Foreign Relations.

In 2020, following the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha Wisconsin, Gloster said America’s “#NatSec apparatus must be a part of dismantling systemic racism” (Blake, holding a knife at the time, had been physically fighting police before being shot).

If any new Republican administration expects to survive it has to approach this sort of sinecure with an executioner’s axe and eliminate the entire position, not change the occupant. Leaving either in place will be fatal. That any future Trump administration might take that approach appears to be a widespread media anxiety at the moment, no less than two years away from any actual implementation. There’s a reason for that.

According to Politico, Stewart joined New America as a fellow in 2022.[15][16] Stewart also works with the public to increase awareness about cybersecurity[17] and the need for increased diversity in the field,[18][19] and tools people can use to avoid computer scams.[20][21]
