Obama's Global Engagement Center — the worst offender in US government censorship is officially dead

[DKG]

The Global Engagement Center, a multi-agency entity housed within the U.S. State Department that has been credibly and repeatedly accused of working with domestic and foreign organizations to silence conservative voices, is officially dead.

The website for the now-closed agency — deemed the "worst offender in U.S. government censorship & media manipulation" by Elon Musk in the wake of the Twitter Files and found to be internally dysfunctional in a 2022 State Department Office of Inspector General report — states, "The Global Engagement Center closed on December 23, 2024."

Although the agency was the focus of multiple congressional investigations as well as a defendant in a pair of damning federal lawsuits — across which the censorship of conservatives was a common theme — there was a bipartisan effort in Washington until the end to keep the GEC alive with its annual $61 million budget.

That is good but the rats will just build nests in other government departments.  They need to be fired.
