ADF presses five major universities
for records on government censorship
ADF seeks records on participation in the ‘censorship-industrial complex’
WASHINGTON – Alliance Defending Freedom sent public records requests Wednesday to five public universities relating to their participation in the “censorship-industrial complex,” the often interlocking and hidden network of public and private censors who sought to silence protected speech. ADF attorneys are seeking the universities’ records and communications with federal government officials, social media companies, and foundations responsible for granting funds to censorship efforts.
ADF sent requests to the University of Michigan; the University of Wisconsin; Indiana University; the University of North Carolina; and the University of California, Los Angeles. The universities have created “misinformation” centers or tools designed to identify speech that the federal government has disfavored. These requests come shortly after President Donald Trump signed executive orders halting federal government censorship efforts.
