The latest edition of the Twitter files shows collusion between the FBI and Twitter like we’ve never seen before. We always knew that the FBI worked with Twitter to censor conservatives, but it turns out to be so much worse than we ever could have imagined.
According to Matt Taibbi, former Twitter Exec Yoel Roth communicated with the FBI over 150 times in just under 2 years.
“Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth,” he tweeted.

The FBI staffed up like crazy after the 2016 election to censor conservatives. They grew their task force to over 80 agents after Trump beat Hillary:

Clearly they wanted to do everything they could to make sure Trump would never win again.
In another Twitter leak, Taibbi shows that the team was literally CELEBRATING how many FBI “content reviews” they were getting:
