In a shocking new article, Matt Taibbi exposes the risky alliance that Twitter and the FBI have created to limit free expression in the name of election security. What’s more worrying is that users are unaware of this alliance’s existence or how it affects online free speech.

The FBI has interfered to block tweets and stifle online opposition, as Matt Taibbi reveals in this episode of the Twitter Files.

The FBI often interacts with private sector entities to offer information relevant to known foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, clandestine, or criminal activities, an FBI spokesperson said in reaction to the “Twitter Files” to Fox News Digital.
