FBI Admits It Meddles In ‘Numerous Companies,’ Not Just Twitter
After a series of “Twitter Files” detailed Twitter’s extensive collusion with the FBI and federal agencies to control public discourse before Elon Musk took over the tech giant, the FBI on Wednesday tried to salvage its reputation by spinning the revelations as normal procedure.
“The correspondence between the FBI and Twitter show nothing more than examples of our traditional, longstanding and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements, which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries,” the FBI said in a statement to Fox News. “As evidenced in the correspondence, the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to allow them to protect themselves and their customers.”

The FBI’s statement came after the release of Part 6 and Part 7 of the “Twitter Files.” Those were reported by independent journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, respectively. “The Twitter Files” is the release of internal company documents through multiple independent, politically left-leaning journalists that have included Bari Weiss and Lee Fang.
Taibbi’s Twitter reporting details the FBI’s extensive private communication with Twitter. The documents show how the FBI pressured Twitter to censor information in a partisan direction, usually under the guise of bolstering “election integrity” or combatting “misinformation” about Covid-19. Shellenberger’s reporting shows the FBI fed lies to Twitter executives to justify its censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story from The New York Post just weeks before the 2020 presidential election. Polling later showed that communications restriction tipped the election to Joe Biden. (Read more from “FBI Admits It Meddles in ‘Numerous Companies,’ Not Just Twitter” HERE)
