The Department of Homeland Security partnered with Stanford University and other colleges to create a 'disinformation group' to censor speech leading up to the 2020 election, new emails reveal.
The Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) was created in July 2020, and consisted of members from the Stanford Internet Observatory, the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, Graphika, and the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, according to a new report from the House Judiciary Committee and released Monday evening.
'[T]he federal government and universities pressured social media companies to censor true information, jokes, and political opinions,' the report said of the partnership.
Emails and internal communications obtained by the House Judiciary Committee show how the group worked to flag, censor and remove speech online.
'I know the Council has a number of efforts on broad policy around the elections, but we just set up an election integrity partnership at the request of DHS/CISA and are in weekly comms to debrief about disinfo,' the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab's senior director Graham Brookie wrote in an email.
The report said the partnership's effort was directed at Republicans and conservatives by labeling information they posted as 'misinformation,' while information posted by Democrats and liberals was largely untouched.
They alleged the partnership was used to 'censor Americans engaged in core political speech in the lead up to the 2020 election.'
'The pseudoscience of disinformation is now – and has always been – nothing more than a political ruse most frequently targeted at communities and individuals holding views contrary to the prevailing narratives,' the report said.
Emails in the report showed DHS Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Brian Scully told members of the Office of the Colorado Secretary of State that he had flagged parody accounts to Twitter.

But, the election wasn’t “rigged” or anything...
Censorship by proxy....................
Censor the antisemitism.

Oh. Nothing to see here.
Perfectly moral and ethical behavior in a free world with a Free Press with “Free Speech for me, nothing for thee.”
And Trumps reelection was not stolen???!!!
Whose administration was that again?
Jokes are disinformation?
I’d like to see the guidelines on how that determ8nation was made.
the non-elected one
Even these revelations are only a “Limited Hangout”.
The over 100K anons that were suspended from Twitter on that January 6th, were already shadow banned, and STILL have not been allowed to return, despite appeals.
Censorship has taken a small exposure hit or two, but remains solidly in place.
Elections are first stolen by what lies are reported and what truths are suppressed.
The “votes” reported later, are adjusted as needed to support the narrative.

The Graphica operation noted in the story likely advised Bud Light on how to increase sales.
Nope.....repeat ‘there was no cheating’, there was no ballot box stuffing, machines worked perfectly, Joe won election fair and square. And, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy are all real. Nope, election wasn’t rigged!
Baloney. Disgraceful that so many, including many in GOP, were/are so afraid to talk about this. Also, afraid to call out the ongoing persecution of Donald Trump.
Don’t recall hearing any reporter ask Dems, RINOs, media exactly WHY they HATE Donald Trump. It started on day one of his announcing his candidacy....he hadn’t been elected or enacted policies. WHY do they HATE him??
