How is this not a big deal with people throwing fits about Musk?
From Taibbi’s substack:
“Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary…Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth… a surprisingly high number are requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts."
I get that Musk is making people’s own individual Twitter world shittier for their own reasons, but how could they possibly be OK with the FBI flagging joke tweets from nobodies and branding it as “misinformation”? Literally 1984 “big brother” type shit.
This reminds me of the “fact checkers” going after SNL the one time they took a swipe at Hillary.
