A just released House Judiciary Committee report reveals that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collaborated with Stanford University's Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) and big tech companies to censor true information, jokes, and political opinions posted by Republicans and conservatives. These posts were labeled as "misinformation" while false information posted by Democrats and liberals was untouched by the censors.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said "the DHS admitted they could not legally interfere with free speech and enlisted Stanford's EIP to do the dirty work. This dirty work included mentioning that tech companies that did not cooperate with the censorship scheme could be referred to law-enforcement or intelligence agencies for possible punitive consequences."
"The irony and tragedy of this lurch into censorship was that it took place while Trump was president--not at the direction or for the benefit of Trump, but to work against his reelection. These were unfaithful employees of the executive branch--deep state opponents of Trump and free elections who were willing to break the law to censor anything favorable toward the President and promote anything that was unfavorable. They used public funds--taxpayers' money--to thwart the will of the voters."

I’m sure they were just “saving democracy”
