On Friday, Matt Taibbi launched the latest installment of the “Twitter Files” and they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the FBI was working side by side to censor conservatives on social media.
Now, the FBI has responded in a brand new statement:
“The FBI regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities. Private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the FBI has notified them.”
As you can see, the FBI is playing dumb. They’re trying to wash their hands of any decisions made at Twitter. According to the FBI, if Twitter makes any content decisions, it’s “not their fault”
Sorry, but the American people aren’t buying it.
Private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the FBI has notified them."
What a crock of shit.

In case you missed it, Matt Taibbi released a fresh new batch of “The Twitter Files” in which he exposed the FBI for being a “subsidiary” of Twitter. According to the leaks, the FBI and DHS would send troves of social posts to Twitter that were already pre-flagged for moderation.
During the past few weeks, the left downplayed the FBI’s involvement, but these new leaks tell an entirely different story.
“It’s no secret the government analyzes bulk data for all sorts of purposes, everything from tracking terror suspects to making economic forecasts. The #TwitterFiles show something new: agencies like the FBI and DHS regularly sending social media content to Twitter through multiple entry points, pre-flagged for moderation,” he tweeted.
