Uh what the hell?? So Harvard took money from her??
"...her superiors took away her ability to start new projects, raise money or organize large events, she alleges. They kept the money she had brought in, including more than $1 million from Craigslist founder Craig Newmark that he wanted specifically to go to her research project, according to documents quoted in the declaration."

"Whistleblower allegation: Harvard muzzled disinfo team after $500 million Zuckerberg donation"
"A prominent disinformation scholar who left Harvard University in August has accused the school of muzzling her speech and stifling — then dismantling — her research team as it launched a deep dive in late 2021 into a trove of Facebook files she considers the most important documents in internet history."

Researcher claims Harvard nixed social media research after getting Zuck bucks https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2023/12/04/researcher_harvard_meta/
Screw Meta and Harvard University. They have soiled themselves* too many times to have scientific merit.
'A former Harvard misformation scholar has filed a whistleblower complaint against the Ivy League university, alleging that its Kennedy School canceled her research into social media harms in order to protect a $500 million donation from The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
Harvard insists that the charges are totally, absolutely, definitely unfounded and that Meta has no undue influence at the school just because former student Mark Zuckerberg's philanthropic organization promised the largest donation to date, or because Facebook's former comms head Elliot Schrage participates in a fundraising body for the Kennedy School called the Dean's Council.'
*For Meta, see the Myanmar genocide. For Harvard University, see the documentary 'Inside Job'.

"A prominent disinformation scholar has accused Harvard of dismissing her to curry favor with #Facebook and its current and former executives in violation of her right to free speech.

As research director of Harvard Kennedy School projects delving into mis- and #disinformation on social media platforms, Donovan had raised millions in grants, testified before Congress and been a frequent commentator on television, often faulting internet companies for profiting from the spread of divisive falsehoods."

If you hate Kissinger, don't forget to blame Nixon, too:
"After getting out of the army, he attended Harvard. His 300-page undergraduate thesis was titled, 'The Meaning of History.' He went on to teach at #Harvard, becoming known for his hawkish views.
"Kissinger's writings brought him to the attention of Richard #Nixon, who made #Kissinger his national security adviser. Over the next few years, he directed one of the boldest periods of diplomacy in U.S. history."
