GOP lawmaker aims to cut US taxpayer dollars from United Nations 'censorship' program
Fox News
Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., is introducing a new bill aimed at stopping the flow of taxpayer dollars toward a U.N. program he argues is aiding censorship.
"The United Nations Development Programme’s iVerify tool is something straight out of Orwell’s ‘1984,’ using AI to help label, suppress, and censor speech online at the expense of American tax dollars. That’s wrong and goes against the very principles enshrined in the First Amendment. We must prevent taxpayer dollars from playing any part in censorship on a global scale, and my bill will do just that," Cline told Fox News Digital.

The bill would stop U.S. funding to the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) iVerify initiative and "for any other effort that seeks to label speech or expression as mal-, mis-, or dis-information," according to legislative text obtained by Fox News Digital.
