In the sixth installment of the Twitter Files, journalist Matt Taibbi revealed that Twitter had a “one-big-happy-family” partnership with the FBI to censor content on its platform.
For example, Taibbi revealed that former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth exchanged “over 150 emails” with the FBI between January 2020 to November 2022. Further, Taibbi noted that a “surprisingly high number” of the FBI’s correspondence with Twitter were “requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts.”
This task force, wrote Taibbi, “swelled to 80 agents and corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds.” “We assess that Russian malign influencers probably will increasingly use US social media platforms that offer more permissive operating environments,” the DHS bulletinHowever, Twitter’s contact with federal agencies did not stop with just the FBI. Several agencies, including the Department of Justice , the Office of the Director of National Intelligence , and the DHS, had frequent contact with Twitter about the content posted on its platform.
Some of the other accounts listed alongside RSBN included “@Trump2017847791,” “@kag2020_2024,” and “@Ronsmit49336969.”
