Government Censorship and Disinformation

Secretary of State Marco Rubio reveals that the Trump administration is seeking to deport illegal immigrants and accuses the Biden administration of compiling disinformation dossiers on Americans. The Global Engagement Center (GEC) within the State Department was reportedly censoring free speech, including targeting a Trump official.

Closure of US Global Engagement Center

The Global Engagement Center, a US government agency focused on tracking foreign disinformation, shut down due to funding cuts after facing criticism. The closure leaves the State Department without a dedicated office to counter disinformation from US adversaries like Russia and China.
