Nina Jankowicz to Testify Before the House Foreign Affairs Committee: The “Censorship Industrial Complex” Is a Fiction that Threatens National Security

(Washington, DC) – Tomorrow, Nina Jankowicz, founder of the American Sunlight Project, will testify tomorrow before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on South and Central Asia in a hearing titled “Censorship Industrial Complex: The Need for First Amendment Safeguards at the State Department.” In her testimony, Jankowicz will explain how the “Censorship Industrial Complex” is a fiction that has had profound implications not only for her safety but for national security, free speech, and the integrity of democratic institutions.

"The ‘Censorship Industrial Complex’ is a myth and a harmful one at that. It’s distracting lawmakers from the real dangers—foreign disinformation and threats to the integrity of our democratic processes,” said Nina Jankowicz, Chief Executive Officer of the American Sunlight Project, “Congress should be focused on combating these threats, not wasting time on politically motivated investigations."
Jankowicz has seen firsthand how the focus on these false censorship claims has harmed researchers. Disinformation experts, including herself, have faced harassment, misrepresentation, and personal attacks, for doing the critical work to safeguard democracy. This environment is having a chilling effect on free speech and academic freedom, silencing those who are essential to protecting our national security and freedom.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration and its allies are waging an aggressive assault on free speech, targeting journalists, academics, and public officials who challenge their narrative. By branding legitimate research as “censorship” and dismantling programs designed to counter disinformation, they are not defending free expression but instead working to control it, punishing those who expose inconvenient truths while allowing malign foreign influence to flourish.

The real danger, as Jankowicz will explain, lies in how these distractions undermine U.S. efforts to combat foreign influence operations. Foreign adversaries, including Russia, China, and Iran, are actively using disinformation to destabilize American democracy. Congress must shift its focus back to addressing these threats before it’s too late.
"We cannot afford to be distracted by political theater. Our adversaries are using disinformation to erode democracy from within, and we must act decisively to protect our values," Jankowicz said.
Jankowicz will testify before the committee tomorrow, April 1, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET.

Det våldsamma ensamma vansinnet är den vite mannens privilegium. Nästan ett heligt raseri som endast han får utöva. ”Ensamagerande enstöring” är nästan som ett konstnärligt geni - befriad från social kontext eller sammanhang utövar han sin dödliga konst som ingen låtsas kunna tolka.

USAID provides critical services to people in need all over the world, so it’s not surprising that the world’s richest man, who has never faced a day of adversity in his life, would so callously attempt to eliminate them. Statement for @americansunlight.org.

Jankowicz Statement on Musk’s Hijacking of US Government and Foreign Policy

(Washington, D.C.) - The following is a statement from American Sunlight Project (ASP) CEO Nina Jankowicz on Elon Musk’s attempt to eliminate the US Agency for International Development (USAID):

“The American people are witnessing a hostile takeover of their systems by an unelected oligarch. Elon Musk’s illegal attempt to eliminate the US Agency for International Development will have far-reaching consequences for the peace and security Americans have enjoyed for generations.

I have been privileged to implement USAID programs and work alongside its employees and partners throughout my career. Far from the “ball of worms” that Musk describes, USAID provides critical services to people in need all over the world—services that pay for themselves in the security and prosperity Americans enjoy. They curb HIV/AIDS and hunger and provide a voice to the voiceless, so it’s not surprising that the world’s richest man, who has never faced a day of adversity in his life, would so callously attempt to eliminate them.

Nor is it surprising that Musk—part of the Trump oligarchy— should deem the critical work USAID does to support democracy and repair the global information environment “corrupt.” There is a reason that Vladimir Putin banned USAID programming from Russia in 2012; its programs supported groups engaged in critical truth-telling missions. Like Putin, Musk and Trump benefit from an all powerful state that trafficks in lies.

Through this illegal power grab, Musk and Trump are putting American lives around the world at risk. Musk has written that USAID is “criminal” and “must die.” In fraught environments—and even here in the States—some may interpret this as a call to arms.

While Musk and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party have railed against the work of “unelected bureaucrats” in the past, President Trump has anointed Musk - whose businesses take large amounts of government contracts and has extensive relationships with China, Russia, and other American adversaries - to become the most powerful man in the U.S. Government overnight. This will immediately cause deaths, upend our security, and make Americans less prosperous and less safe.

This hostile takeover is only the beginning of what Musk plans for the federal government, and that should scare every American. While programs that may feel far away are on the chopping block today, it might be Medicare, Social Security, or veterans’ benefits tomorrow. I urge Congress to fulfill its duty to act as a check on the Executive Branch and its unelected oligarch ally.”
