In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Musk named the U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) as a “threat to our democracy” and pointed to independent journalist Matt Taibbi’s extensive Jan. 3 thread that delves into the agency’s interactions with Twitter on content censorship.
Taibbi’s thread that Musk pointed to for more details on the GEC’s activity includes internal correspondence among Twitter executives that indicates that even they took a dim view of engagement with the GEC, considering it “political” and “press-happy” and as having a “track record of actively advancing specific ideological agendas.”

It's high time the federal and state governments get out of the censorship game with big tech. I'm guessing it's going to take the people to do it because we'll over half of Congress and the White House are all in on violating our First Amendment rights.

An agency that is supposed to be protecting us but uses it powers to persecute perceived political enemies. How sad our Country's agencies have been turned against half our population. This happens all the time in Democracies, but not in Republics. We are in trouble. People don't usually give back power after they seize it.
