The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Nominally created in 2018 to defend the United States against cybersecurity threats from hostile foreign actors (e.g., Russian hackers), it almost at once became an an explicitly inward-facing domestic censorship bureau.[1]
Official narrative
CISA is responsible for strengthening cybersecurity and infrastructure protection across all levels of government, coordinating cybersecurity programs with US states, and improving the government's cybersecurity protections against private and nation-state hackers. CISA's activities are a continuation of the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), and was established on 16 November 2018 when President Donald Trump signed into law the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act of 2018.[2]
Censorship
CISA's Internet censorship power grew out of interpreting "critical infrastructure" beyond its hard physical meaning to apply to ideas and opinions. By 2019, when the narrative of "Russian interference in elections collapsed, the apparatus quietly, but entirely, pivoted to focus inward on "domestic disinformation." This meant that, henceforth, any US citizen posting what DHS considered “misinformation” online was suddenly conducting a cyber attack against US critical infrastructure.[3]

| The Twitter Files | “CISA does not censor speech, period. CISA’s mission is to build resilience to disinformation and foreign malign influence activities that threaten critical infrastructure, including election infrastructure,” a CISA spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email. “We work in a non-partisan manner with state and local election officials to equip the American public with accurate information about the conduct and security of their elections. Online content platform operators, as always, make their own decisions regarding the content on their platforms.”” | Peter Svab The Epoch Times | 17 January 2023 |
