Exhibit 1132 · Congressional staff report
The Weaponization of CISA: How a "Cybersecurity" Agency Colluded with Big Tech and "Disinformation" Partners to Censor Americans (interim staff report)
By 2020, CISA routinely reported social media posts that allegedly spread “disinformation” to social media platforms.
Majority staff report on CISA and platform content reports, 2018 to 2022, drawing on the Scully deposition (Doc. 209) and CISA advisory-committee documents. It states that CISA's switchboarding to platforms existed by 2020 and a formal mis-, dis- and malinformation team by 2021, and that CISA outsourced reporting to a nonprofit in 2022 after suit was filed. CISA rejected the findings (per press reports, not read). Characterizations ('metastasized', 'duplicitously') are the Committee's; the underlying testimony is cited separately.
