Republicans Want To Keep Funding Liberals’ Favorite Censorship Agency

A new Congressional spending package includes billions of dollars for an arm of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that previously collaborated with private entities to censor online speech, including suppression of the validity of Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) would receive $2.2 billion for 2026 funding as part of a package currently being considered by the House of Representatives, according to the bill’s text. Created in 2018 by President Donald Trump to “carry out cybersecurity, infrastructure security, and emergency communications stakeholder outreach and engagement,” CISA quickly became a tool for cracking down on “misinformation,” including through the facilitation of the “Election Integrity Partnership” (EIP), which flagged content to be removed from various social media sites — including Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and TikTok — during the 2020 election.
The agency also worked to discredit reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop by linking it to QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories, with one CISA employee calling the story a “convoluted web of falsehoods being spread to undermine Joe Biden,” according to documents obtained by the America First Legal Foundation in 2023.
There are a lot of Republicans I do not trust.
