Twitter Obeyed Gov Orders To Censor Critics As “Russian Disinformation” w/Matt Taibbi
hey everybody it's the Jimmy Dore show,I'm Aaron mate sitting in again for,Jimmy here with mishapalan who's sitting,in for Steph hey Misha hello hey,and we have a big show today but first,we are joined by Matt taybe he is a,journalist and author who writes at,taibi.substack.com and he has been the,lead reporter on the Twitter files these,explosive Revelations that have come,from inside of the social media giant,that have revealed that I've revealed in,part how us intelligence has been,influencing Twitter to ban accounts and,censor countervailing information,information that it doesn't like so Matt,taibi thanks so much for taking the time,to join us,thanks Aaron thanks for having me good,to see you good to see you too so let's,get into uh the the First new batch of,Twitter files that you dropped today and,there's two Mega threads you put out,let's look at the first one it's called,the Twitter files Twitter and the FBI,belly button so talk to us about what,this one is about,so basically Twitter,periodically had some objections to,dealing with certain government agencies,and they were being overwhelmed by uh,different agencies wanting their phone,number,um and so they ended up doing this,compromise where basically every,government agency got access to them but,it had to be through uh the DHS or the,FBI and there's one email where an FBI,agent says think of us as the belly,button for the USG uh so basically the,FBI ends up being the conduit for the,entire enforcement slash intelligence,mechanism of the United States,government which is all sending,moderation requests to Twitter,so let's read from some of this uh this,is uh what you write on Twitter and uh,by 2020 Twitter was struggling with the,problem of public and private agencies,bypassing them and going straight to the,media with lists of suspect accounts,in February 2020 as covet broke out the,global engagement Center a fledgling,analytic intelligence arm of the state,department went to the media with a,report called Russian disinformation,apparatus taking advantage of,coronavirus concerns so this is one of,many examples you have where basically,the U.S intelligence Community tells,Twitter that Russia is manipulating,Americans uh on this certain topic and,can you crack down on these accounts,yeah they would later send a list of 5,500 accounts that they attributed to,Chinese slash Russian slash Iranian,disinformation uh and Twitter balked at,it because it included accounts like the,Canadian military there was a CNN,account in there uh but that particular,report was interesting because it gives,you a window into how stupid the,government's uh assessment methodology,is for deciding what is and is not a,suspicious account they were using,criteria like you know persons,speculated that coronavirus is a,bioweapon or person retweeted news that,Zero Hedge have been banned,um that's that's really that's literally,the level at which they were,um deciding that things were suspicious,or not,here's more from the Twitter files the,global engagement Center still led,directly to new stories like the afp's,headline Russia linked disinformation,campaign led to coronavirus alarm U.S,says and a political story about how,Russian Chinese Iranian disinformation,narratives Echo one another so this is a,case of the feedback loop where U.S,intelligence Community shares these,claims no evidence or little evidence is,provided but then that then fuels this,new cycle where media Outlets take this,stuff on faith,yeah I mean this this is really the,shameful part of it right because if you,actually look at this report which I,guess at one time was classified it,becomes unclassified at some point but,there's no evidence in there what the,what they're doing is they're looking at,characteristics of social media accounts,and again it's things like does the,person follow two or more uh Chinese,diplomats has the person speculated that,the CIA has a role had a role in the,development of the coronavirus did they,think it came from a lab have they,speculated on lab origin like these are,all things that they're using to decide,whether or not a thing is Russian,disinformation and you have major news,organizations running with this,um and being credulous about it so tell,me what's going on with this one uh this,is from an email that something called,the Clemson media forensics Hub maybe,maybe you can explain to us what that is,it complains that Twitter,hasn't quote made a Russian attribution,in some time uh and they're complaining,to of course to Joel Roth the Twitter uh,trust and safety Chief who infamously,now was one of the people who pushed the,censorship of reporting a hunter Biden's,laptop so what's going on here,so basically,after about 2016 2017 when,in the wake of the uh election Donald,Trump and the Russian foreign,interference Scandal you suddenly had,the appearance of all these quasi,private,um,Laboratories that were analyzing cyber,information sometimes with with,government grants they co
