Internal communications between Twitter workers were recently made public in a collection of confidential papers known as the “Twitter Files,” which revealed how they controlled which accounts to restrict and promote, including those of the US President and stories like Hunter Biden’s laptop exposé.
Conservatives have long suspected that key internet laws and rulings were biased, and a number of papers have now proven them right.

According to a recent allegation, Twitter granted special access to certain Pentagon accounts with the goal of conducting psychological operations abroad, including the Middle East and Russia.
Twitter pledged to restrict the spread of misinformation by official accounts after the 2016 election. However, they were also working together with the Pentagon to promote its own propagandistic themes on their platform at the same time.
According to The Epoch Times:
The latest “Twitter Files,” published on Tuesday by Lee Fang, revealed how social media giant Twitter had been helping American intelligence agencies carry out covert online operations. This unexpected revelation raises concerns about potential privacy violations and the improper use of digital technology for surveillance.
Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, retweeted a long discussion in which Fang said : “despite promises to shut down covert state-run propaganda networks, Twitter docs show that the social media giant directly assisted the U.S. military’s influence operations.”
“Twitter has claimed for years that they make concerted efforts to detect & thwart gov-backed platform manipulation. Here is Twitter testifying to Congress about its pledge to rapidly identify and shut down all state-backed covert information operations & deceptive propaganda,” The conversation went on.
The workings of psychological influence operations were revealed by U.S. Central Command, who also revealed that Twitter protected and approved these operations against many Middle Eastern countries for a considerable amount of time, with some accounts being live until now.
