The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is investigating Indiana University for allegedly participating in what it calls a “censorship-industrial complex’s.

Frida Ghitis: The ADF 's attack on Indiana University appears to be part of an effort to enforce Trump 's order to enforce federal research funding.

She says attacks follow a common script: accusers use freedom of information demands to collect internal documents and distort the meaning of these exchanges, portraying them as incriminating when, in reality, they are innocuous.

Ghitis says the attacks have taken a toll, rolling back misinformation research at major universities.

Indiana University’s Observatory on Social Media refutes “censorship-industrial complex” narrative.

Critics blame misinformation researchers for fueling content moderation policies and enforcement efforts by social media companies like Meta , Google , and TikTok .

Academic researchers deserve to be defended and even honored, not demeaned and silenced.
