The FBI repeatedly grilled Twitter execs about censorship on the social media platform in the summer of 2020 — insisting that the company provide more information about removing “state propaganda” from the site, according to the latest Twitter Files release.

The agency’s Foreign Influence Task Force — which deals with cyber threats — interrogated Twitter on its reporting about official state media actors’ use of the site, according to emails unearthed by independent journalist Matt Taibbi in what he dubbed the “Twitter Files Supplemental” Sunday night.

San Francisco FBI agent Elvis Chan pressured former Twitter trust and safety chief Yoel Roth in July 2020 for more information about how they prevented bad actors from using the platform, according to screengrabs of email correspondence posted by Taibbi.

Chan was not satisfied with Twitter’s indication that it “had not observed much recent activity from official propaganda actors on your platform,” the emails show.

Roth, in return, commented on the persistence of the agency, stating that he was “perplexed” by the probing inquiry.

This is beyond “interference.” The FBI was running Twitter’s censorship program.

I remember the good ole’ days in the 1970’s when we’d mock Russians for living under tyranny——now it’s here.

FBI goons.

Goons.

Why are they on the payroll of The United States?

If they only work for the Democrats, cut off their paychecks and let the Democrat party pay them.

They can be the Democrat Bureau of Investigation.

The DOJ IS America's KGB

Exact same function, slightly different methods.

If anyone thinks this is only happening at Twitter or other social media companies, think again.

This is in corporate boardrooms (support for BLM, LGBT rights, etc)

This is in newsrooms everywhere.

Everything you know and see is manipulated.

Its like we are in the matrix.

I comment on this every so often, but the reality on the ground does not seem to match election results.

If the FedGov is going to these lengths, it is inconceivable to me that we are really voting in elections.

Democrats have worked hard to build up a massive registration advantage. Motor voter laws and registration drives have resulted in large databases that can be mined.

Ballot harvesting (legal in 32 states) allows Dem-aligned groups (claiming to be non-partisan) to go door to door and get every registered voter to complete a ballot. In most states, they just need to sign a power of attorney to allow the group to deposit the ballot on their behalf.

This is getting all those people who never show up at a polling station to vote without leaving their home.

This is all legal and legitimate. It is why a poll of registered voters is closer to the results now than a poll of likely voters.

Polls of likely voters and exit polls are meaningless because they do not capture the massive number of mail-in ballots being cast that outnumber those that show up at a polling location.

This is all that simple and legal. No fraud.

If reality doesn’t match the election, something is being manipulated.

If you run two tests on a system and one is wildly different, something is wrong.

Incidentally, Project Veritas caught one of these harvesters on camera, and it was it was absolute criminal fraud. And the fraudster knew it, and admitted it.

The everything is legal and on the up-and-up argument is the argument of the side that is cheating. Don’t fall for it.

“””46. The FBI’s influence campaign may have been helped by the fact that it was paying Twitter millions of dollars for its staff time.

“I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!” reports an associate of Jim Baker in early 2021.”””


I thought #46 of the 7th installment of the Twitter files was interesting.

So the FBI paid Twitter $3.5 million for their assisance!!!!!

Hey Semimojo! How's that private censorship theory working out for you?

Disagree. It is fraud.

That the law tolerates it simply demonstrates the law is corrupt.

That message from Chan sure reads like an employer to an employee.
