> But no one at the FBI or the CIA came in and told Twitter, "Hey, this is misinformation." The Twitter Files are full of emails and meetings with the FBI where they do exactly that, along with many references to meetings with the CIA (which they called "OGA" for "other government agency"). https://www.racket.news/p/twitter-files-thread-the-spies-who https://www.racket.news/p/twitter-files-thread-the-spies-who Especially as the election approached in 2020, the FITF/FBI overwhelmed Twitter with requests, sending spreadsheets with hundreds of accounts One of the most common forums was a regular meeting of the multi-agency Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), attended by spates of executives, FBI personnel, and – nearly always – one or two attendees marked “OGA.” Despite its official remit being “Foreign Influence,” the FITF and the SF FBI office became conduit for mountains of domestic moderation requests, from state governments, even local police. Example email: "Hi Stacia, Our FBI Baltimore office identified these Twitter handles and tweets which appear to provide misleading information" > The Twitter files prove that the government did not ask Twitter to take down anything It's baffling to me that anyone could read about the Files and conclude this given the entire spreadsheets of users being sent directly from US Government police and intelligence agencies to Twitter, requesting takedowns of that content. They literally prove the exact opposite of this.
