Election Integrity Partnership, the Stanford Internet Observatory Cyber Policy Center and "Takedowns"

Election Integrity Partnership, which says it is non-partisan, was founded in 2020 and seeks "to empower the research community, election officials, government agencies, civil society organizations, social media platforms and others to defend our elections…". While empowering entities to "defend our elections" sounds like a good idea, Anon notices that voters are not on the empowerment list. It would have been so easy to include voters on the list and the omission causes Anon to question EIP's purpose. Does it exist to defend "the research community, election officials, government agencies, civil society organizations, social media platforms and others"?

EIP collaborates with the Stanford Internet Observatory, the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public, "the National Conference on Citizenship, Graphika and the Digital Forensic Research Lab."

While Anon has not had a chance to dig on the other entities mentioned above, Anon did take a look at Stanford Internet Observatory's Cyber Policy Center. They have a webpage and a half dedicated to"Platform Takedown Reports". Anon requests that frens take a look at the Takedown Case Studies to see if any of them are related to elections. If we could find a "Takedown Case Study" of one election related post or platform, the exposure could be illuminating. So far, Anon has found (see 2/4 this thread) a takedown of Covid 19 related information (misinformation?).

Below is the sauce for the Stanford Covid 19 related "Takedown". There are 2 sauces provided. One is a PDF (it says "takedown" in the URL) and the other is a brief description of what is in the PDF.

Below is a publication aboutanti-vaccine activism, found in the Lancet (March 18, 2023). One of the contributors is Stanford's Renee Diresta. Her Stanford Freeman Spogli biography is sparse (see 3/4 this thread).

Diresta's Stanford bio may be lacking but the bio on her webpage provides more information. She contributed to the reports below (see the PDFs if you like). Renee is published in the Atlantic and in Wired (see 4/4 in this thread).

Stanford Freeman Spogli - Renee Diresta

The kindest thing Anon can say about this biography is that it is lacking in substance.
