Nina Jankowicz, head of the Biden administration's new Disinformation Governance Board, has removed her TikTok account from public viewing.
Jankowicz in 2020 ironically claimed the process of verifying what's "real" or "fake" online should not be the domain of the executive branch of the government.
She's been billed as an "expert on online disinformation" by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

While Jankowicz feels the need for privacy on her personal accounts, she's on record publicly supporting Taylor Lorenz, the Washington Post journalist who doxxed the creator of the Libs Of TikTok accounts.
Critics have repeatedly raised concerns about Jankowicz's potential political biases and how it could affect her performance in her new position. Some speculate her TikTok was made private to avoid further videos providing evidence of this.
Below is one such video that caused concern:
