From Fox News: Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed during a Cabinet meeting that the Biden administration’s State Department kept dossiers on Americans accused of serving as “vectors of disinformation,” including a file on an unidentified Trump administration official.
“We had an office in the Department of State whose job it was to censor Americans,” Rubio said during Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump. “And, by the way, I’m not going to say who it is. I’ll leave it up to them. There’s at least one person at this table today who had a dossier in that building of social media posts to identify them as purveyors of disinformation. We have these dossiers. We are going to be turning those over to these individuals.”
Vice President JD Vance interjected, asking, “Was it me or Elon [Musk]? We can follow up when the media is gone,” and drawing laughter from the Cabinet.
“But just think about that. The Department of State of the United States had set up an office to monitor the social media posts and commentary of American citizens, to identify them as vectors of disinformation,” Rubio continued. “When we know that the best way to combat disinformation is freedom of speech and transparency. We’re not going to have an office that does that.”

In an interview with Mike Benz, director of Foundation For Freedom Online, in mid-April, Rubio discussed in detail how he has ended the Biden administration State Department’s controversial Global Engagement Center, which was being used to censor American citizens.
During the interview, Rubio revealed that the European Union is now becoming very aggressive in censoring speech, including targeting Americans. According to Rubio, the foreign censorship laws were partly formed and funded by the U.S. State Department, so a global censorship program is now operating, despite that Rubio has dismantled the root of the deal.
“Sometimes, some idea that starts out as innocuous or maybe even good intention can metastasize, becomes a weapon that can be turned into something else by someone else,” Rubio warned.
