"even chief censor feared the FBI was breaking the law helping US intelligence"

Twitter Files bombshell as emails show even chief censor feared the FBI was breaking the law helping US intelligence engage in domestic operations: Yoel Roth was 'uncomfortable' being grilled over 'state propaganda' on the app



  • The most recent edition of the 'Twitter Files' reveals that FBI officials demanded execs for the social media giant to give them information 
  • Journalist Matt Taibbi posted emails showing the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force wanted info about state-run media's use of the site
  • The agency was unsatisfied with the idea that it 'had not observed much recent activity from official propaganda actors' 
  • Even Yoel Roth, the former 'Twitter censor' who was forced to flee, was uncomfortable with the FBI agent Elvis Chan's requests
