The censorship office is "dead," but its spirit lives on. After Congress shut down the controversial Global Engagement Center (GEC) for alleged domestic overreach, the State Department is rebranding and reallocating resources into a new "Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Hub."
The players are the same, the mission is familiar, and the $30M budget is intact—minus the grant-making authority that helped fuel allegations of censorship-by-proxy. Is this a sleight of hand: the same operations under a different banner?
