Many of us are in the tech industry. Has anyone seen this sort of thing happen? Or is this something we wouldn't be aware of since it's usually on the "content moderation" side of the house? (I haven't ever worked in social media, so not really familiar with content moderation other than removing the occasional dick pic)

Even if you look into it from the outside you see it happen. This isn't a new phenomenon, it really took off steam around 2014 or 2015. Then when Trump was elected it hit another level.

It was clearly shown in the Twitter files that there are many relations deep into social media companies and that is very likely true for every larger platform.

It would be surprising if there weren't backchannels, because they have become relevant, sadly.
