A disturbing new report confirms that globalist nonprofits, academic institutions, and one private company all teamed together with arms of the federal government and Democrat activist groups in order to censor conservative news sites in the months before the 2020 election.
The report adds that the same consortium is planning to deploy the same exact tactics for the 2022 midterm elections.
The syndicate’s name is the “Election Integrity Partnership” and it’s primarily comprised of four organizations: the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO), the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, and Graphika, a social media analytics company.
As the 2020 election grew closer, the group created a system which government entities like the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department could file “tickets” on certain news stories, flagging them for censorship or ‘misinformation’ labels.
The EIP also was blatantly biased in the way they went about this censorship. The group allowed the Democratic National Committee to file tickets through the system, as well as the Democrat-aligned groups Common Cause and the NAACP.
Not surprisingly, top conservative news sites such as Breitbart News, Fox News, the New York Post, and the Epoch Times, were targeted by the system, but it didn’t stop there.
The EIP also allowed for social media accounts of prominent conservative influencers to be flagged – meaning the Democrats literally had free reign to silence whoever they deemed to be a threat to their power.
Accounts like Charlie Kirk, Tom Fitton, Jack Posobiec, Mark Levin, James O’Keefe, and Sean Hannity, were targeted to name a few, but perhaps the most flagrant target of the censorship system: President Trump himself.
The consortium acted to suppress all things Trump, including the president’s sons Eric and Donald Jr, likely having a major impact on Trump’s ability to spread his messaging right before the election.
The group actually admitted to doing these things itself, in a voluntary disclosure which was published in a recent report.
The report states that EIP was successful in censoring content on social media. In 21 percent of cases, platforms labeled content identified by the EIP, and in 13 percent of cases, the content was removed from the platforms entirely.
This information clearly reveals a Democrat-aligned effort to restrict voters access to certain information ahead of the 2020 election.
The group also reportedly plans to “get the band back together” for the 2022 midterms, while claiming that this time they will be even more powerful.
“We’re getting the band back together (with several improvements) for the midterms,” said Kate Starbird of the Center for an Informed Public, in a tweet this August.
