Staff Reports
The Biden administration strikes again! This time, they’ve been caught red-handed funding research to suppress “misinformation” online. Can you believe it? The National Science Foundation (NSF) received millions of taxpayer dollars for a program called “Track F,” and what did they use it for? Censoring American speech! It’s all part of the government’s increasing involvement in online censorship, from the C
DC censoring COVID-19 posts to the FBI suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story. It seems like they just can’t resist meddling in everything.

According to reports, the NSF has spent a whopping $38.8 million on their so-called “misinformation” efforts since Biden took office. But that’s not all. The Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) discovered even more grants that indicate additional funding has been allocated to target mis- and disinformation. So not only are they wasting our hard-earned money on this nonsense, but they’re doubling down on it. Talk about government inefficiency!
Now, the NSF claims they don’t engage in censorship or partner directly with social media platforms. But come on, who are they trying to fool? The evidence speaks for itself. And let’s not forget the emails that were released ahead of the congressional hearing. They showed that a program manager at NSF was already strategizing ways to take down the DCNF’s report as soon as it was published. Talk about shady!
But what’s even more concerning is the agency’s response to simple questions about their programs. Instead of being transparent and accountable, they try to hide information and rebrand themselves to avoid attention. This is not the behavior of an organization that should be trusted with telling reporters what is true and what is false. The government should never be the arbiter of truth. Our Founders understood this, which is why we have the First Amendment. It’s a direct attack on free speech and freedom of the press.
It’s time to put a stop to this madness. The government needs to stay out of our online lives and stop wasting our money on programs that do more harm than good. We should be able to decide for ourselves what information to believe and what to ignore. We don’t need the NSF or any other organization funded by the government telling us what’s true and what’s false. Let’s protect our First Amendment rights and hold the Biden administration accountable for their attempts to control the flow of information. We deserve better than this.
