Reasonable Inference
[Reasonable Inference – Government coordination – not yet established] On January 13, 2021 – ten days after the election certification – GitHub terminated the account of an Arizona election integrity aggregation website under a “spreading misinformation” rationale, without providing the operator with specific examples of violating content. The website hosted and indexed content including the Cyber Ninjas audit findings, the Speckin forensic report, and the Pulitzer PKAD analysis. The timing – immediately following certification – is consistent with the CISA-EIP pattern of intensifying suppression of election-integrity speech in the post-election period. Whether the de-platforming was coordinated with CISA or DHS actors is not established in the project record and requires further investigation.
