Learned basically nothing here. So the FBI helped Twitter with content moderation? Who gives a crap.

>>leoh+eM
They were going after political speech while ignoring actual crimes.

>>kodyo+yN
The thread clearly shows that they were going after misinformation, and trying to make sure they only did so when accurate. At most you could say that the FBI sent some low quality reports, which seems like a better question for your congressional representatives since they have oversight.

It does not show or allege a crime was ignored - can you be precise in what you’re insinuating?

>>acdha+SO
They didn't have to submit high quality reports because they were working with ideological soulmates.

>>kodyo+yS
You do realize for this to be true - the FBI, one of the most conservative organizations in this history of the country, one that’s never been led by a democrat - would have to be secretly as liberal as Twitter’s trust and safety team? Do you understand why people might not find that plausible?

>>mikeyo+4T
The FBI serves the state, and itself. If they need to make friends with a leftist to get something done, why would that stop them? I personally find it hard to believe that Crossfire Hurricane was run by a conservative cabal in the FBI, but maybe you're right. Whoever were doing it were elitist reprobates.

>>kodyo+sU
The FBI investigated both Trump and Clinton in 2016. The difference is that they made a big announcement about Clinton immediately prior to the election.

>>djur+M21
Was that the only difference? Nothing qualitatively different about the reasons or motivations behind the investigations? Like maybe one was investigated because the candidate was mishandling national secrets in order to avoid freedom of information act requests?

I don't know. Seems like there's a difference.
