The new Speaker of the House, Rep. Mike Johnson previously blasted Twitter for acting as an “FBI subsidiary” in the years before Elon Musk took over the company.
“The federal government, from Democrat members of congress to intelligence agencies, including the FBI, used Twitter and other social media companies to censor Americans’ speech. If the alarm bells are not going off, then you’re not paying attention,” said Rep. Johnson during the hearing, which featured testimony from Twitter Files reporter Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger.
“Twitter was engaged in open information sharing with the intelligence community, and now we know there were many intelligence agencies apparently involved in this. The FBI pressured Twitter to act on election related tweets leading up to the 2022 election… and Twitter dutifully censored content.” “Twitter has used its internal tools to control and manipulate speech considered misinformation. And who was determining that? It was the government bureaucrats.”
