3. Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary.

4. Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth.

How is this constant? This is just 1 request every 7 days . I figured it would be more. Also, it's called the FBI. Their job is to investigate federal matters, which includes content on social social media. They do with with all major social networks. It's not just politics or the media, but things related to safety, terrorism, kidnaping, child exploitation, etc.

It seems like these files are becoming more and more underwhelming.

They were coordinating with Yoel Roth to police content. It's absurd that this news is being dismissed people don't like Twitter's new chief .

Specifically policing misinformation around elections?

policing "misinformation" is not the role of the United States government.

What part of the H. Biden laptop was "misinformation"?

>>hgdhgf+uf1
The idea that it was remotely important in the context of the election. Also, the idea that the story was suppressed. Those parts, at least.

Wait, I thought twitter DID suppress the story as part of their anti hacking policy?

They blocked some links, as did other social networks, but the story was not suppressed by any stretch. It was still all over the place and everyone was talking about it in real time, on Twitter even.

Twitter's actions almost guaranteed that this would blow up, prompting the wider media ecosystem to respond to the story about the blocked tweet, letting many, many more people know about the laptop story (which anyone/everyone could still read without hindrance) to people (like me) who don't read the Post or use Twitter.

In fact, had Twitter not flagged the NY Post's tweet about the article, I might never have heard about the laptop story at all.
