The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 wants to limit how the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency addresses misinformation; Trump has criticized the agency
The Project 2025 blueprint recommends ending CISA's efforts to counter the flow of mis- and disinformation and dismissing the panel of experts that advises the agency on matters of cybersecurity or else housing the agency under the Department of Transportation, rather than DHS.The net effect of the proposed overhaul would be to make CISA less powerful, said Herb Lin, a senior research scholar for cyber policy and security at Stanford University.
The Project 2025 proposal's focus on CISA and the government's role in handling false information online has alarmed some democracy experts. Republicans argue that CISA exceeded its mandate during the 2020 election, coordinating with nonprofits working on misinformation in order to outsource an action that would otherwise be considered illegal censorship.

But regardless of the definition, "If I can disrupt the functioning of that infrastructure by telling lies ... That's a threat to the elections infrastructure," Lin said. "If that's true, then you might want to have an agency part of whose mission is to focus on trying to prevent people from saying that."The Project 2025 proposal is not the only place where Republicans are pursuing changes to CISA.
