Censorship Industrial Complex Takes a Hit as Rubio Official Dismantles ‘Disinformation’ Agency
The State Department has officially dismantled its controversial “Global Engagement Center” (GEC) — a taxpayer-funded “disinformation” agency long accused of acting as an ideological filter for the regime.
The GEC, founded under the Obama administration in 2016, was originally designed to counter “foreign propaganda” and “malign influence.” In practice, it became a domestic censorship tool — coordinating with tech companies, NGOs, and intelligence-linked entities to monitor and suppress speech that strayed from the establishment line. From conservative journalists to vaccine skeptics, from election integrity advocates to critics of globalism, those questioning official narratives often found themselves flagged, shadow-banned, or deplatformed. It worked in tandem with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the FBI, and academic programs like Stanford’s Internet Observatory — a revolving door of intelligence, academia, and tech power.
