Twitter & The Feds Were The Tip Of The Iceberg … Here Are Some MORE Politicized Tech Companies (VIDEO)

The more light we shine on what’s happening behind the curtain at Big Tech, the worse the signs of rot and corruption become. Twitter is just the tip of the iceberg.
Twitter is the one we’ve got the evidence of, but they’re hardly alone.
Dan Bongino reacted to the sixth round of Twitter Files, by taking our attention beyond Twitter itself. Sure, we saw serious evidence of the FBI weaponizing the authority of their badges against pretty much anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders.
But don’t kid yourself into thinking Twitter was a unique case. Big Tech is crawling with politicized companies.
ALL EYES ON TWITTER: But even though Twitter Files Pt. 6 was dropped— the BIG TECH effort to target conservatives for their political beliefs goes way beyond social media and has been going on for YEARS

To paraphrase an infamous line from Schiff, there is “more than circumstantial evidence” that FBI associates colluded with Big Tech to interfere with the 2020 election… and beyond.
It’s evidence of corruption like this (and going at least as far back as Crossfire Hurricane) that inspired our FBI merch at the ClashDaily store. (Feel free to browse the whole store. It’s how we keep the site free so we don’t need any of those annoying paywalls.)
In case you missed the drop of TwitterFiles6 itself, we are including the entirety of it below, since social media, by design, is an ephemeral medium.
Dinesh D’Souza summarizes the critical takeaways in a single, devastating tweet.
That’s an awfully big claim. Does Twitter Files 6 deliver on a claim that big?
Judge for yourself:
1. THREAD: The Twitter Files, Part Six
TWITTER, THE FBI SUBSIDIARY— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 16, 2022
3. Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary.

5. Some are mundane, like San Francisco agent Elvis Chan wishing Roth a Happy New Year along with a reminder to attend “our quarterly call next week.” Others are requests for information into Twitter users related to active investigations.

7. The FBI’s social media-focused task force, known as FTIF, created in the wake of the 2016 election, swelled to 80 agents and corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds.

9. It’s no secret the government analyzes bulk data for all sorts of purposes, everything from tracking terror suspects to making economic forecasts.

11. What stands out is the sheer quantity of reports from the government. Some are aggregated from public hotlines: pic.twitter.com/cm9JjEXUSm

“HELLO TWITTER CONTACTS”: The master-canine quality of the FBI’s relationship to Twitter comes through in this November 2022 email, in which “FBI San Francisco is notifying you” it wants action on four accounts: pic.twitter.com/LjgB6fxENo
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 16, 2022
15. Just to show the FBI can be hyper-intrusive in both directions, they also asked Twitter to review a blue-leaning account for a different joke, except here it was even more obvious that @clairefosterPHD, who kids a lot, was kidding: pic.twitter.com/uLxHayY11C

17.Of the six accounts mentioned in the previous two emails, all but two – @ClaireFosterPHD and @FromMa – were suspended.

19.Agent Chan passed the list on to his “Twitter folks”: pic.twitter.com/eXaZnC3I7y
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 16, 2022
21.Many of the above accounts were satirical in nature, nearly all (with the exceptions of Baldwin and @RSBNetwork) were relatively low engagement, and some were suspended, most with a generic, “Thanks, Twitter” letter: pic.twitter.com/0S0XoqhwYD

23.“I can’t believe the FBI is policing jokes on Twitter. That’s crazy,” said @Tiberius444.
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 16, 2022
25.The Twitter exec writes she explicitly asked if there were “impediments” to the sharing of classified information “with industry.” The answer? “FBI was adamant no impediments to sharing exist.”

29.Another internal letter from January, 2021 shows Twitter execs processing an FBI list of “possible violative content” tweets: pic.twitter.com/Dwad3lGM4j

31. In this March, 2021 email, an FBI liaison thanks a senior Twitter exec for the chance to speak to “you and the team,” then delivers a packet of “products”: pic.twitter.com/POOpYrd9q8

33.The ubiquity of the 2016 Russian interference story as stated pretext for building out the censorship machine can’t be overstated. It’s analogous to how 9/11 inspired the expansion of the security state. pic.twitter.com/GSaEzM0aYo
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 16, 2022
35.FBI in one case sent over so many “possible violative content” reports, Twitter personnel congratulated each other in Slack for the “monumental undertaking” of reviewing them: pic.twitter.com/rt5WzhfCga
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 16, 2022
37.Reports also came from different agencies. Here, an employee recommends “bouncing” content based on evidence from “DHS etc”: pic.twitter.com/5DP8DEFZiO
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 16, 2022
39.Twitter for instance received reports via the Partner Support Portal, an outlet created by the Center for Internet Security, a partner organization to the DHS.

https://t.co/4zD4nEkDdW, a video was reported by the Election Integrity Project (EIP) at Stanford, apparently on the strength of information from the Center for Internet Security (CIS): pic.twitter.com/kJfJ6gDrb1

43.The EIP is one of a series of government-affiliated think tanks that mass-review content, a list that also includes the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Laboratory, and the University of Washington’s Center for Informed Policy.

45. Twitter Files researchers are moving into a variety of new areas now. Watch @BariWeiss, @ShellenbergerMD, and this space for more, soon.

After releasing damning information showing the FBI telling a private ‘platform’ which accounts they want shut down, instead of decrying the Frist Amendment implications of the government using a proxy to silence people, while interfering in an election cycle in the process — media and leftists attacked the messenger.
Ted Lieu, who is a strong candidate for being the Forrest Gump of Congress, minus the charisma, turned his wrath on Matt Taibbi.
– What “law enforcement” objective is served by asking for Billy Baldwin’s location information?
– Why is the FBI/DHS in the business of analyzing and flagging social media content at all? When were these programs created and who approved them? pic.twitter.com/vEigT4ksKV— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 17, 2022
