The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collaborated with universities and work organizations to establish the 'Election Integrity Partnership' (EIP) during the 2020 election. The EIP compiled a list of conservative accounts and pressured Big Tech companies to censor and suppress them online. The House Judiciary Committee revealed that DHS officials created a 'disinformation group' at Stanford University to censor Americans' speech on social media. Judicial Watch obtained redacted records showing communication between the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the EIP during the 2020 election, aimed at flagging online election content for censorship and suppression. The alliance of federal agencies, tech companies, election officials, and researchers that fought foreign propaganda has fragmented due to sustained Republican attacks.
