The State Department is funding a 'disinformation' monitoring group that has targeted non-liberal and conservative news organizations, according to a report.
GDI may remind Americans of President Biden’s short-lived Disinformation Governance Board that was scrapped in May 2022 after board director Nina Jankowicz, and the group itself, faced overwhelming backlash.
"But GDI's ties to the government extend far beyond the NED," Kaminsky wrote."GDI has also disclosed taking money from Disinfo Cloud, an unclassified and defunct platform through the State Department's Global Engagement Center. Disinfo Cloud was used between 2018 and 2021 by Congress and over a dozen federal agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Energy, Treasury, and the FBI, according to the State Department.
"The government is not supposed to be picking winners and losers in the free speech arena, regardless of whether they do it directly or by proxy, as appears to be the case here," he continued. The State Department told Fox News Digital that the GEC's work with GDI was limited to disinformation efforts in East Asia and Europe, and the Global Engagement Center does not moderate content on social media platforms.
