Feds Targeted Conservatives in 2020 Censorship Operation

A congressional report revealed that during the 2020 election, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Global Engagement Center (GEC), and Stanford University collaborated to pressure Big Tech companies to censor “disinformation.” This operation targeted true information, satire, and political opinions, affecting many conservatives, including President Trump, Newt Gingrich, Rep. Thomas Massie, Mollie Hemingway, Dave Rubin, Michelle Malkin, and “an untold number of everyday Americans of all political affiliations.”

The report noted:

The First Amendment to the Constitution rightly limits the government’s role in monitoring and censoring Americans’ speech, but these disinformation researchers (often funded, at least in part, by taxpayer dollars) were not strictly bound by these constitutional guardrails. What the federal government could not do directly, it effectively outsourced to the newly emerging censorship-industrial complex.

The Federalist reported that the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), led by Stanford University, played a key role in monitoring and censoring online speech. Federal agencies and government-funded entities submitted “misinformation reports” to EIP, which flagged posts for censorship. This censorship operation limited the exposure of diverse political perspectives to American voters.
