Congressman Flood & House Republicans Sound Alarm Over Biden Administration’s Collaboration with Big Tech to Censor Americans

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA – Congressman Flood, alongside House Oversight Committee Republicans, are sounding the alarm about the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) work aimed at censoring free speech. House Republicans have been conducting an ongoing investigation into DHS’ operation of a taxpayer-funded censorship campaign targeting online speech and legitimate criticism of the Biden Administration. In recent years, DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has partnered with left-leaning organizations and Big Tech companies in an attempt to stifle lawful First Amendment-protected speech of Americans in public online settings.

“The Biden Administration continues to suppress free speech and discredit legitimate criticism as mis-, dis-, or mal- information. Committee Republicans have now become aware of an extensive censorship campaign originating within DHS’s CISA,” Republican lawmakers said. “This effort leverages partnerships with third parties to silence narratives that contradict the Administration’s preferred perspectives on issues important to the national discourse.”
