State Department says it's 'substantially likely' to shut down its Global Engagement Center on December 23

The Global Engagement Center was created in 2016 to create propaganda aimed at foreign audiences abroad.

But after the controversy around Russia in the 2016 election, it became concerned with targeting “disinformation” on social media platforms.

The center even opened up an office in Silicon Valley to allegedly gain influence over American tech firms that control what Americans hear about.
