FBI Admits It ‘Routinely Notifies’ Social Platforms Of Censorship Opportunities
The bureau said it “routinely notifies U.S. private sector entities, including social media providers, of potential threat information, so that they can decide how to better defend against threats” and it “has provided companies with foreign threat indicators to help them protect their platforms and customers from abuse by foreign malign influence actors.”
While the FBI claims it “cannot ask, or direct, companies to take action on information received,” comments made by Meta (formerly Facebook) CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggest otherwise.
“Only a Russian agent would publish info on this topic. But it is your call.”

“This isn’t just insane, it’s election interference. The Oversight Committee must immediately invite Mark Zuckerberg to testify — under oath — about the FBI’s attempts to circumvent the First Amendment. The American people deserve answers and accountability,” Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) commented on Twitter.
