| Do you mean today's release or the Twitter archive site? If 8th release: - showing for the 1st time it went beyond FBI/DOD/etc to include plenty of CIA. But the CIA involvement was always hidden by using an "OGA" label aka "Other Government Agency". - a 90-person US task force ostensibly designed to combat "Foreign Influence" spent tons of time on domestic accounts. - again shows Twitter under lots of pressure to find "foreign influence" but struggling to find any - examples of them failing to find foreign influence for a particular account and deciding to brainstorm ways to ban it anyway - Twitter was getting overwhelmed with requests, the FBI/others were sending lists of 100's, sometimes 1000's of accounts to be banned at a time, often with as little explanation as "Pro-Russian" - explains how gov requests were carefully tailored by FBI to always be "Terms of Service violations", they'd come up with a reason to ban them that neatly tailored to fit the TOS... (which is kinda like parallel reconstruction if you think about it, just work backwards to find a reason) |
