Newly released documents expose a coordinated campaign by government agencies and private firms to suppress online speech under the pretense of combating misinformation.
By yourNEWS Media Newsroom
America First Legal (AFL) has released a cache of internal documents exposing a government-orchestrated censorship network involving the U.S. State Department’s now-defunct Global Engagement Center (GEC), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), foreign governments, and private media organizations. These documents reveal extensive coordination to monitor and control public discourse, particularly around COVID-19 and election-related narratives, under the guise of fighting “disinformation.”

Government Coordination in Censorship Efforts
AFL’s findings, secured through Freedom of Information Act litigation, detail how the GEC—originally intended to counter foreign disinformation—operated as a hub for state-sponsored speech suppression. Internal communications show the GEC and USAID collaborated to identify and mitigate “adversarial narratives,” using tools such as “Disinformation and COVID-19 related products” and risk analysis platforms like “KHARON” to monitor online activity and international election narratives.
