The committee, chaired by Ohio State Speaker Jim Jordan, obtained non-public documents that lawmakers say show CISA has "expanded its mission to monitor American discourse through social media, big tech and government." "and is trying to hide from the public its clearly unconstitutional activities."
"This included cleaning CISA's help pages of internal 'misinformation' and 'disinformation,'" the report said.
Founded in 2018, CISA is committed to becoming an organization dedicated to protecting critical infrastructure and defending against cyber security threats.
"Since its inception, however, CISA has become the nerve center of the federal government's domestic surveillance and social media censorship operations," the report said.
The subcommittee found that in 2020, CISA "regularly reports social media posts that allegedly spread 'misinformation' on social media platforms."
As of 2021, CISA has a formal treatment group for malformations, anomalies and malformations (MDM). And in 2022 and 2023, the subcommittee says CISA is "attempting to disguise its activities by duplicitously claiming that it is performing only an 'informative' role."
"While CISA's efforts to control speech are generally very troubling, one problematic aspect is CISA's focus on 'failures,'" the report said. According to CISA's own definition, "falsifications are based on facts but used out of context to deceive, injure or manipulate".

The report said defects are "factual information that is inadmissible, not because it is false or inaccurate, but because it was given without proper 'context,' a context determined by the government."
According to the report, CISA's advisory subcommittee on MDM has since disbanded, but "brings together governments, leading technology 'experts' and academic disinformation." These experts include former Twitter general counsel Vijaya Gade; Former Assistant General Counsel and Advisor to the CIA; and professor at the University of Washington's Center for Conscious Society.
An email received from the commission. A letter written by a member of the MDM advisory group in May 2022 says, "It was only a matter of time before someone noticed us and started asking questions about our work."
This person suggested taking time to speak with a representative from CISA and lawmakers to discuss "how we socialize what we do."
"It would be nice to actively tell our story and not react to how others describe it, wouldn't it?" specified post. "I know none of us have time for that, but I tell myself it might save us time in the long run."
The report notes that CISA is working with federal partners to "mature" a statewide approach to curb allegations of misinformation and disinformation. The report also notes that CISA is considering creating counterintelligence "rapid response teams" that could be physically based in the United States.

The subcommittee also found that CISA outsourced "censorship actions" to CISA-funded nonprofits after the agency and the Biden administration filed suit in federal court.
The report also states that CISA wants to use the CISA-funded nonprofit Center for Internet Security (CIS) as a "spokesperson" to "avoid government propaganda."
The report said CISA is funding CIS, including $27 million in FY2024 spent on the CIS Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center.

"CISA has not yet delivered the relevant subpoenas and additional facts must be proven," the report states. "To better inform the committee's legislative efforts, the committee and select subcommittee will continue to investigate the involvement of CISA and other executive agencies in social media."
But CISA chief executive Brandon Wells said in a statement to Fox News Digital that the agency “has never censored or facilitated censorship; such claims are absolutely false.
"Every day, the men and women of CISA fulfill the agency's mission to mitigate threats to U.S. critical infrastructure while protecting the free speech, civil rights, civil liberties and privacy of Americans," Wells said. "In response to the concerns of election officials in all parties about foreign influence and disinformation that could affect the security of election infrastructure, CISA reduces the risk of disinformation by sharing literacy and election security information with the public and amplifying the votes of faith. . election commissions throughout the country.
CISA also said that CISA "has never funded CIS to carry out disinformation activities" and instead EI-ISAC "has flagged potential disinformation on social media platforms in light of the 2022 election phase", but stressed that CISA " is not included". "
The investigation into Jordan and Republicans comes after Republicans have raised the alarm for years about Big Tech censorship and anti-conservative bias.
The Jordanian committee has promised to continue the investigation.
