Journalist Matt Taibbi dropped the sixth installment of the Twitter Files on Friday, showing the close relationship between the FBI and Twitter, with regular contacts from the FBI to Twitter flagging speech to take action against, as well as regular weekly meetings between Twitter and the FBI, DHS and other agencies. According to Matt Taibbi, 80 agents were assigned to this task.
The FBI responded as though this was a completely normal thing.
“The FBI regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities. Private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the FBI has notified them.”
Taibbi tweeted that agents were being tasked to flag people for tweets rather than going after people for things like being child sex predators.
