EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Maher says the "the number one challenge" in her fight against disinformation is "the First Amendment in the United States," which makes it "a little bit tricky" to censor "bad information" and "the influence peddlers" who spread it.

MY COMMENT: We here at NPR will determine what content we see fit to put on our site, and we will determine what constitutes "misinformation/disinformation" in our sole and exclusive opinion! If you don't like it, tough s***!
