Twitter Files: FBI Worked With Ukraine to Censor Twitter Users, Including Journalists

The FBI sent Twitter an email from Ukrainian intelligence asking the social media platform to ban journalists and users critical of Ukraine and turn over their "user data specified during registration," according to the latest Twitter Files leak.



From Aaron Maté, "FBI helps Ukraine censor Twitter users and obtain their info, including journalists":
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has aided a Ukrainian intelligence effort to censor social media users and obtain their personal information, leaked emails reveal.

In March 2022, an FBI Special Agent sent Twitter a list of accounts on behalf of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Ukraine's main intelligence agency. The accounts, the FBI wrote, "are suspected by the SBU in spreading fear and disinformation." In an attached memo, the SBU asked Twitter to remove the accounts and hand over their user data.
The Ukrainian government's FBI-enabled targets extend to members of the media. The SBU list that the FBI provided to Twitter included my name and Twitter profile. In its response to the FBI, Twitter agreed to review the accounts for "inauthenticity" but raised concerns about the inclusion of me and other "American and Canadian journalists."

The FBI’s attempt to ban Twitter accounts at the request of Ukrainian intelligence is among the most overt requests for censorship revealed to date in the Twitter Files, a cache of leaked communications from the social media giant.
Twitter declined to turn over their data but banned dozens of people off the list.




The US government is a lawless regime. While Biden and his handlers endlessly prattle on about the "rules based order," "upholding democracy" and all that garbage they're shamelessly using the state to target/jail their political enemies and censor their opposition.
