Elon Musk Hints at Launching New Platform to Take on Twitter

[Tim Steelersfan]

Isn't it rich watching the Libs being suspended by Elon (since reinstated) all crying?

Taylor Lorenz - "Elon seems to be banning people he disagrees with" - you mean like how Twitter has been banning people they disagree with for years by the tens of thousands? LOL

Not only was the FBI running Twitter, but now it appears Facebook too...as many of us have suspected.

1. After learning that Twitter employs at least 15 former FBI agents, I searched Facebook. What I found is alarming

Facebook currently employs at least 115 people, in high-ranking positions, that formerly worked at FBI/CIA/NSA/DHS:

17 CIA
37 FBI
23 NSA
38 DHS
2. All, but a few, of the former intelligence agents were hired, by Facebook after the 2016 Presidential Election & after the FBI established their social media-focused task force FTIF.
3. As @mtaibbi detailed in #TwitterFiles Part 6, we know there was massive coordination of censorship between the FBI & Twitter during 2020-2022.

Who is controlling “misinfo” censorship at Facebook?

Is there similar coordination between Facebook & the Intelligence community?
4. The following is a list (obtained through PUBLICLY available LinkedIn profiles) of former CIA/FBI/NSA/DHS that are currently working at Facebook, at least 10 work in the Trust & Safety (Misinfo) department. Many of the LinkedIn profiles are private so those will not be posted.
5. Aaron Berman (He/Him) leads the Misinformation Policy team at Facebook.

According to Aaron’s public LinkedIn profile, he worked for the CIA for 17 years.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/aarondberman/
6. Aaron states that his experience at the CIA included writing President’s Daily Brief, leading briefings for Cabinet members, senior NSC officials & members of Congress.
7. On Twitter, Aaron is followed by Yoel Roth & admits he is friends with Trust & Safety people at Twitter.

Was Facebook coordinating with Twitter on info-sharing to censor posts they deem as ‘misinfo’?

9. On a YouTube discussion, with Stanford, Aaron admits that Facebook works with a ‘Global network of over 80 fact checker Organizations” who direct Facebook on which posts to reduce distribution, add warning labels & shadowban


10. Aaron discusses in detail the lengths Facebook goes to in censoring what they deem as COVID19 misinfo, specifically on Vaccines

This FBI stuff gets even deeper. Even corrupt Yoel Roth thought the FBI was breaking the law. That's saying something.

New 'Twitter Files' shows FBI question execs on 'state propaganda'

Journalist Matt Taibbi, who released the first batch of internal files about the Hunter saga earlier in December, posted emails showing the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force wanted info.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Twitter Files bombshell as emails show even chief censor feared the FBI was breaking the law helping US intelligence engage in domestic operations: Yoel Roth was 'uncomfortable' being grilled over 'state propaganda' on the app​

• The most recent edition of the 'Twitter Files' reveals that FBI officials demanded execs for the social media giant to give them information
• Journalist Matt Taibbi posted emails showing the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force wanted info about state-run media's use of the site
• The agency was unsatisfied with the idea that it 'had not observed much recent activity from official propaganda actors'
• Even Yoel Roth, the former 'Twitter censor' who was forced to flee, was uncomfortable with the FBI agent Elvis Chan's requestsThe released emails show that Roth feared the FBI was breaking the law to help US intelligence engage in domestic operations.

The released emails show that Roth feared the FBI was breaking the law to help US intelligence engage in domestic operations.

Officials from the bureau even asked for Twitter to hand over the locations from where the Twitter accounts were being operated, in a disturbing move that many saw as an attack on the First Amendment.

In one email from November 6, 2022, FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Elvis Chan forwarded Twitter staff a lengthy list of accounts for review.

Chan wrote that the FBI believed the accounts were 'violating [Twitter's] terms of service by disseminating false information about the time, place or manner of the upcoming elections.'

The list of accounts had been sent to Chan by the FBI's National Election Command Post, which compiles and forwards complaints, indicating that the list may have been based on community tips submitted to the FBI.

The list included Baldwin, the brother of actors Alec and Stephen Baldwin, as well as what appear to be several satire accounts and the right-wing news and commentary outlet Right Side Broadcasting Network.

'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.'

She [Stacie Cardille] summarized a monthly 90-minute meeting she had had with representatives of the FBI, Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence to discuss election threats.

Cardille told Baker the meeting would soon become weekly.

In her memo, she writes: 'I explicitly asked if there were any impediments with the ability of the government to share classified information or other relevant information with industry.

'FBI was adamant that no impediments to information sharing exist.'

Much more in the article.

Censor or Else: Democratic Members Warn Facebook Not to “Backslide” on Censorship

With the restoration of free speech protections on Twitter, panic has grown on the left that its control over social media could come to an end. Now, some of the greatest advocates of censorship in Congress are specifically warning Facebook not to follow Twitter in restoring free speech to its platform.


In a chilling letter from Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), André Carson (D-Ind.), Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Facebook was given a not-so-subtle threat that reducing its infamous censorship system will invite congressional action. The letter to Meta’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, is written on congressional stationery “as part of our ongoing oversight efforts.”...........

How the FBI & intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and *before* The New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020
In Twitter Files #6, we saw the FBI relentlessly seek to exercise influence over Twitter, including over its content, its users, and its data.

News web sites used to have a comment section below each article. Now, very few do. People took their comments to places like Twitter where it was monitored and controlled. Perhaps the fbi " encouraged " news sites to discontinue comment sections so that speech would be funneled to places like Twitter. Easier to monitor if it's all in one place.
