the latest installment of the “Twitter Files” has revealed that Democrat President Joe Biden’s federal government demanded that the Big Tech company censor content that it deemed to be “anti-Ukraine narratives.”
The findings from Twitter’s internal communications files were published by journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger.
The new Twitter Files release comes ahead of Taibbi and Shellenberger’s testimony to the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
Thursday’s release has revealed that federal government entities flagged “anti-Ukraine narratives” to Twitter for censorship.
Additionally, it revealed that a project which has partnered with several state entities and urged tech platforms to take action against “stories of true vaccine side effects” was onboarded to Twitter’s Jira ticketing system.
The new information was provided in a new batch of Twitter Files.
The information was also detailed in the reporters’ opening statements before the congressional committee hearing.
The new Twitter Files thread included a previous email from the “The Virality Project” urging action against “stories of true vaccine side effects” and “true posts which could fuel hesitancy.”
