Jim Jordan Reveals State Department Used Stanford University to Police Online Speech |
National Review: The State Department “outsourced” its social-media censorship operations to Stanford University researchers ahead of the 2020 election, according to a new House GOP report. The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department worked directly with a group of academics known as the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) to “monitor and censor Americans’ online speech in advance of the 2020 presidential election,” according to a report published Monday by the House Judiciary Committee and its Weaponization Select Subcommittee. Led by researchers at the Stanford Internet Observatory, the EIP coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) to guide censorship decisions on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook in the name of protecting election integrity (National Review). Rep. Jim Jordan: Here’s how it worked: EIP “stakeholders” (including the federal gov’t) would submit misinformation reports, EIP would “analyze” the report and find similar content across platforms, EIP would submit the report to Big Tech, often with a recommendation on how to censor (X). |
