House Subcommittee Investigating Big Tech and Government Agency Spying on Americans
Fox News reported that the House Weaponization Subcommittee claims that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) facilitated censorship of Americans, both directly and through intermediaries, during the Biden administration. The committee obtained non-public documents revealing CISA's alleged collaboration with Big Tech and government-funded organizations to censor speech and hide its unconstitutional activities.

The report also alleges CISA engaged in "cover-ups" by trying to "cover their tracks ad cover up CISA’s censorship of domestic speech and surveillance of American citizens’ social media activity.
"This included scrubbing CISA’s website of references to domestic ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation,’" the report states.
CISA, which was founded in 2018, was intended to be an agency focused on protecting critical infrastructure and guarding against cybersecurity threats.
"In the years since its creation, however, CISA metastasized into the nerve center of the federal government’s domestic surveillance and censorship operations on social media," the report states.
The report states that CISA expanded its mission to monitor and report “disinformation.” It further accuses CISA of engaging in cover-ups and attempting to hide its censorship of domestic speech and surveillance of citizens' social media activity. The investigation into CISA's actions is ongoing.
