Obama-era interagency organization ‘blacklisted’ Americans in attempt to curb ‘foreign disinformation’: Report

A U.S. government interagency organization created to counter international terror organizations and foreign propaganda allegedly used resources to censor Americans, according to a new installment of the Twitter files.

The "Global Engagement Center," (GEC), established in 2016 as part of an executive order by then-President Barack Obama, has a budget of roughly $74 billion and reportedly gave money to at least 39 different organizations, whose names were redacted in an inspector general report.

According to reporter Matt Taibbi, the GEC "funded a secret list of subcontractors and helped pioneer and insidious—and idiotic—new form of blacklisting."
