A new Twitter files thread alleged that an Obama-era government interagency attempted to censor Americans they believed were part of foreign propaganda campaigns.
Journalist Matt Taibbi said he was particularly shocked that Adam Schiff’s office frequently asked for content to be taken down.
Substack writer Matt Taibbi has continued to report on the"Twitter Files," which focuse ranges from the tech giant's decision to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story to vaccine"disinformation." On June 8, 2021, the DFRLab emailed Twitter, stating,"Hi guys. Attached you will find… around 40k Twitter accounts that our researchers suspect are engaging in inauthentic behavior… and Hindu nationalism more broadly."
During one correspondence, GEC asked Twitter to review 499 accounts as"foreign" disinformation because they used Signal to communicate and tweeted the hashtag, #IraniansDebateWithBiden. A Twitter executive appeared to mock the U.S. government methodology through internal correspondence, writing,"If you retweet a news source linked to Russia, you could become Russia-linked."
