You have heard about the censorship in the EU via the Digital Services Act and in the UK with the Online Safety Act. You might have even heard about the State Department funding the British censorship conglomerates which silence Americans, Brits, and Europeans alike. It’s part of the Global Censorship Network the Biden administration helped create.
Reporter Matt Taibbi has talked about the Global Censorship Complex. However, do you realize the Global Industrial Censorship Complex continues to this day and the censors threatened Elon Musk and Donald Trump? The State Department canceled the funding and assistance we provided to it but the threat is real and ever present.
The US censorship network in the State Department funded this global censorship under Joe Biden.
The following is a series of tweets describing a conversation with Sec. Rubio explaining that he shut down the State Department censorship program. However, he warns that the global censorship network is still going strong.
It all started with US counter terrorism program against ISIS.
The State Department Now Focuses on Free Speech
About fifteen years ago, the State Department created a counter terrorism messaging program. Then in 2016, they said they were worried about foreign influence in elections.
It all started innocently enough 10-15 years ago.
The State Department created a program to counter terrorist messaging from al-Qaida and ISIS.
Who could argue with that?
But here’s where it gets disturbing… pic.twitter.com/61fep34Jtl

By 2020, it became something far more sinister.
After the 2016 election, the program’s focus shifted to targeting “foreign interference” in elections.
By 2020, it had morphed into something far more sinister:

The man running this operation was Richard Stengel who publicly claimed: “Donald Trump talks just like a Russian spy, he talks just like a terrorist, and so do the people around him.” Stengel set up a sophisticated system to silence opposition, twisting the original legitimate counter terrorism program into an anti-free speech machination.
The censorship machine worked with the State Department and funded “impartial” NGOs with taxpayer money. The third-party groups then tagged American commentators and media outlets as “foreign agents.”
Just so you know, NGOs are overwhelmingly left-wing and most are far left.
The consequences were real and devastating. This program led to Americans getting de-platformed and silenced online. High-profile targets included Ben Shapiro and The Federalist. Countless everyday citizens were also caught in the dragnet.

Just when you think it couldn’t get more shocking: Before Trump took office, they didn’t shut down the unit. They simply renamed it and moved it elsewhere in the bureaucracy. A classic government shell game to avoid accountability.
The most disturbing part? American taxpayers were unknowingly funding this censorship apparatus. American tax dollars were being used to silence fellow Americans for exercising their First Amendment rights.
Sec. Rubio’s team has been quietly dismantling this system over recent months.
They’re documenting what happened for two critical reasons:
So those harmed can prove they were targeted to ensure it never happens again. pic.twitter.com/gVwcYU7QtF

When Elon Musk hosted Donald Trump on X during the election season, EU officials threatened him with penalties. This was two non-EU citizens, discussing American politics, being threatened by foreign censors. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Here’s what’s even more concerning: The foreign censorship laws in places like the EU were partly shaped by the same ecosystem partners that were funded by the State Department. It created a global censorship machine that’s still operating.

The EU Digital Services Act now threatens Americans with fines for speech that would be protected under our First Amendment. They’ve already threatened a billion-dollar fine against X for “non-compliance with disinformation” standards.

In a stark shift from previous policy, Rubio has raised this issue directly with foreign leaders, including at a recent Oval Office meeting with the UK Prime Minister.
The message: Attacks on free expression undermine one of the core values that unite Western democracies.

The State Department is now refocusing on pro-American messaging and protecting free speech globally.
A complete reversal from the previous censorship approach that targeted Americans.
What’s the lesson here?
As Rubio put it:
“Sometimes, some idea that starts out as innocuous or maybe even good intention can metastasize, becomes a weapon that can be turned into something else by someone else.”

That’s interesting considering on my own street we have four Wi Fi networks that are marked FBI Surveillance on them.
Jewish Supremacy ZOG is behind most of it. Thousands of us were targeted by the blob hive from ADL SPLC Media Matters. We were nuked from every platform the day after J6. We got labeled antisemitic. Total scumbags. Get out of my country, Israel. Mossad is a cancer.
Write me a page I can actually READ. This page is so full of indecipherable CRAP I want nothing to do with it.
I’m sorry you didn’t understand it. It’s a series of posts by an X poster and I thought he did a good job of laying it out. Sec. Rubio shut down the State Department censorship program, but the global censorship network we helped fund is going strong. That’s it.
The entire state department is communist. Get rid of it asap.
Loved the cancer inference, a few bad cells suddenly gain power and control with the goal of killing to host, the host being free Americans.
