💨 Abstract

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the closure of the State Department's Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference office, previously known as the Global Engagement Center (GEC). The office, which aimed to combat foreign disinformation, was accused of censorship and wasting taxpayer money. The GEC had faced criticism from some Republicans for allegedly disfavoring conservative media.
