Stanford's Election Integrity Partnership was a government-funded censorship laundering operation β€” documented evidence
🟒 CONFIRMED

The Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), led by Stanford Internet Observatory, was created in 2020 'at the request' of CISA (DHS) to flag social media content for removal. The EIP provided a mechanism for the federal government to bypass First Amendment restrictions by routing censorship requests through a university. The Virality Project recommended suppressing even 'true posts which could fuel hesitancy' about COVID vaccines. Platforms removed approximately 35% of flagged content. The SIO shut down in 2024.
