I appreciate the WA Post drawing attention to attacks on researchers in the field of online misinformation, but there a few pieces of this story (e.g. about researchers "buckling") that just aren't accurate, at least not from my perspective at UW. I'm going to post (below) my full comment here to the Post (sent weeks ago), most of which was excluded in this piece: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/23/online-misinformation-jim-jordan/
