U.S. Secretray of State announced the closure of the State Department’s Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (R/FIMI), formerly known as the Global Engagement Center (GEC). U.S. is already known for its freedom of speech and human rights. However, latest announcement for dismantling the censorship bureaucracy is considered a big boost for freedom of speech and expression in United States. Under the previous administration, this office, which cost taxpayers more than $50 million per year, spent millions of dollars to actively silence and censor the voices of Americans they were supposed to be serving. This is antithetical to the very principals we should be upholding and inconceivable it was taking place in America, Marco Rubio said in conversation with Mike Benz.Executive Director of Foundation of Freedom Online.
