Re: “This same "disinformation" group has received $330,000 from two State Department-backed entities linked to the highest levels of government, raising concerns from First Amendment lawyers and members of Congress.”
So these "State Department-backed entities" will get a court order telling them to stop... they'll say "We're sorry"... and that will be that. Nobody will get punished and the programs will go right on with what they're doing until somebody else challenges them -- if somebody else ever does.

We need harsh punishments. Agencies need to be told that every time they're found to be violating peoples' rights, whoever does the finding gets $100 million from the guilty Agency, and so does the victim. That'd teach 'em a lesson that might actually hit home.

US State Department Funding Secret 'Disinformation' Crusade To Blacklist Conservative Media Cited on Decomposed's Top 5 Stories

Friday, Feb 10, 2023 - 08:40 PM

The US Department of State has been funding a "disinformation" tracking group through its Global Engagement Center (GEC), which reportedly works at demonetizing sites it accuses of disseminating "disinformation," - which are overwhelmingly conservative news outlets, the Washington Examiner reports.

The Global Disinformation Index, a British organization with two affiliated U.S. nonprofit groups, is feeding blacklists to ad companies with the intent of defunding and shutting down websites peddling alleged "disinformation," the Washington Examiner reported. This same "disinformation" group has received $330,000 from two State Department-backed entities linked to the highest levels of government, raising concerns from First Amendment lawyers and members of Congress.

GDI through its website maintains a "dynamic exclusion list" of the worst offenders of disinformation online, which it then distributes to ad tech companies - such as Microsoft's Xandr - in order to try and "defund and downrank these worst offenders," and deprive said sites of ad revenue.

According to The American Conserviative executive director Emily Doak, "They might consider TAC a ‘high-risk’ publication because we have consistently taken on the bipartisan establishment’s sacred cows, whether it's the war in Iraq, nation-building in Afghanistan, or the harm done by free trade and open borders — and we’ve been proven right time and time again," adding "They know they can't say we're wrong, only that we're biased and 'high-risk,' so we will wear that designation as a badge of honor."
