TWITTER FILES PART 8: How Twitter Quietly Aided the Pentagon’s Covert Online PsyOp Campaign

Despite promises to shut down covert state-run propaganda networks, Twitter docs show that the social media giant directly assisted the U.S. military’s influence operations.

Twitter has claimed for years that they make concerted efforts to detect & thwart gov-backed platform manipulation. Here is Twitter testifying to Congress about its pledge to rapidly identify and shut down all state-backed covert information operations & deceptive propaganda. […]

But behind the scenes, Twitter gave approval & special protection to the U.S. military’s online psychological influence ops. Despite knowledge that Pentagon propaganda accounts used covert identities, Twitter did not suspend many for around 2 years or more. Some remain active.

A good summary here.

The Daily Mail has finally picked up the FBI angle.

  1. Musk is doing well so far with the slow striptease.

    At each stage he is sucking in useful idiots (see above) to defend the indefensible.

    Fun to watch.

  2. Bigger than Watergate.
    This is the MSM’s big chance to be Woodward and Bernstein.
    All those dreams about cracking the big story while you were stoned in the dorm at Ryerson, now is your big chance!

    Maybe Brad Pitt or Amber Heard will play you in the movie.

  3. I pray Musk releases the dirt on Canada and Trudeau.
    Would love to see the wee Maggot squirm on the hook.

  4. The FBI is no longer “Just the facts, Ma’am.”.

    It is now “The Sword and Shield of the Party”.
