Twitter files publisher says government was in the censorship business 'in a huge way'

One of the journalists who helped release Elon Musk's tranche of "Twitter files" said the emails and other documentation he reviewed brought him to conclude the federal government was "in the censorship business."

Taibbi, who a decade ago became well-known through his reportage on the Occupy Wall Street movement, was one of a handful of journalists who tweeted out previously unreported internal records from pre-Elon Musk Twitter.

"I think we can say pretty conclusively, after looking at tens of thousands of emails over the course of these weeks, that the government was in the censorship business in a huge way — that's, I think, provable now," Taibbi told "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

"And not just one agency. Really every conceivable wing of the enforcement agencies of the U.S. government were in some way or another sending moderation requests to Twitter, and in many cases those requests were being fulfilled."

As highly intelligent and informative your comment was, I’m sure tons and tons of libs would love it. I mean, your argument was so persuasive, who could resist?

Do you remember the day when liberal progressives like yourself despised the government and the g-men they employed? Now, much like the Soviet era and currently China, you guys loves you some government in your business and censoring what you can and cannot say. When will you guys start spying on your neighbors?

 

Just more of the SAME Sour Grapes...
That said:
IF it can be conclusively proven that any statutes were violated, then I would favor FULL PROSECUTION...
But, as of now, this whole thing (as with ALL of the "Twitter Files") reeks of a Sour Grapes Nothingburger...

 

Where's the posts from Matt T that show all the requests from Trump's Administration
& Co asking for deletes/suspensions/perma bans?
lol

 

They likely have already been doing so…

 

The progressive left is still bitter that Musk bought Twitter and exposed their leaders in business and government for what they did.
