The FBI comes up in plenty of the other Twitter censorship stories. Covid is not a one-off, and this article exists in that broader context, or it would not be interesting. It was part of a sustained, illiberal, counterproductive, and overall pretty stupid pattern of behavior from both the government and Twitter.

- ethanbond 4y agoLike gaslighting people into thinking FBI requested suppression of the Hunter story (they didn’t), or that the FBI == the Biden team (it’s not), or that the FBI was suppressing COVID stories (it wasn’t) or that Twitter felt compelled to satisfy all Biden team or FBI requests (it didn’t)? That sort of gaslighting? Or maybe the implication that Twitter will henceforth not allow government or govt affiliated entities to request content moderation (they will) or that they won’t give such requests preference (they will) or that they shouldn’t give such requests preference (a matter of opinion, but not crazy to believe they should).
