The FBI paid Twitter millions of dollars to cover the costs of processing the agency's requests. "I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!" wrote someone with Twitter's Safety, Content, & Law Enforcement (SCALE) team in a February 2021 email, according to internal messages reported by journalist Michael Shellenberger today.

Where does an agency created by executive order have the authority to do this?
This imho is government infringing on the first amendment. So which of Hannity's 99% 'good guys' were involved? Name them. They need to be made famous.
The only reason it is intertwined with the Democrats is because they (the Democrats) favor big government (i.e., the Deep State).
Because Trump and MAGA want limited government, they are THE existential enemy of the Deep State.
As an aside, now that the FBI has been caught in a crime with a money trail, who is going to prosecute them?
The Deep State is a monster...a beast. It is not just above the law. It IS the law.
And if this is the carrot, what is the stick? The FBI has much more stick than carrot.
Congress needs to demand a full accounting of this and release it for public perusal.
It was more than that.
Think of all the vaccine advertising, the gov’t contracts, etc that were given to Twitter.
It is hundreds of millions.
3 1/2 MILLION to interfere in the 2020 election? CRIMINAL ACTION!! imho
Wallbanger can shove it. Ef him. You listen to him, you are dumb.
FBI=Crime Syndicate. Big city mobsters are impressed I bet.
Bureaucracies exist for no other purpose than to perpetuate themselves.
You are a riot.
If folks think this is bad, they should take a look at who their local enemedia is hiring...
Are you just gerriatric? We need to smoke these effers, like yesterday.
The American Taxpayer Paid Twitter $3.4 Million for Processing FBI Demands of censorship
Disturbing that they have an open checkbook to get favors done....even if they are illegal and violate people’s constitutional rights.
Hannity’s waking up to the fact the powerful in the FBI are common bullies and thugs.
How do we know?
Because ‘intelligence’ types can’t win when they run for office in free elections - - enough people can see the bullies and thugs for what they are - and they’ll vote against them. Hannity’s starting to see this.
Perpetuation...and nothing assures perpetuation like more power.
For a long while I wondered how the social media could devote such a huge portion of their resources to controlling the minds and thoughts of the public. It’s not a good business model. It does not bring in the money. It’s an expense center, not a profit center.
I asked myself if there might be some shady characters who were funding this effort. Well what do you know? la di da, and voila` it’s our very government! It’s taking our money and giving it to the social media as payment for controlling the minds and thoughts of the public! Silly me! I thought it was some evil foreign power that kept itself well hidden. I was wrong! It’s our federal government!
The government was paying a business to violate the Constitution and violate the rights of the public. The government was doing it, by proxy. But the government was doing it.
Total violation of the Constitution. Federal law enforcement officials, department heads, and the president are in violation of the Constitution. And the sun came up this morning. Dogs continue to bark. Ice is still cold. And the formerly-great republic has become a petty dictatorship, run by a demented old fool.
no the fbi was created in 1908 by order of the AG at the time
how about all the former FIB’ers at twitter too
