3) Did you work directly on the DoD grant that was awarded to New Knowledge? I looked up the grants you might be referencing; as is clear from my LinkedIn account, I didn't work there at the time they seem to have been awarded. Also, as I read the descriptions of the contracts they seem to be for subcontract work for social media analytics not ""creating automated disinformation for elections'' 4) Do you have any current DoD grants and/or do you consult for DoD and/or DoD contractors on disinformation? Nope. But if you'd like to see an example of my work detecting influence operations, you can see reporting on an investigation I did on the US Pentagon here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-s ecurity/2022/09/19/pentagon-psychological- operations-facebook-twitter/ Cheers, Renee

Often it’s a waste of time to respond to bad faith inquiries, but the bullshit industrial complex relies on non-response to say “DiResta declined to respond!” &create impression of guilt. Then comes innuendo: Thacker claims a company I left in early 2019 had sketchy DoD contracts & is implying I did too. Whether they did, whether I had anything to do with it, is irrelevant – the MO is to state two things and let the audience intuit the connection they want to believe.
So here was my response
